Picture and youtube video show a coal fired model based on Robinsons original Great Central design Class 9N, later in LNER days Class A5.

By anybodys imagination these were splendid looking engines and lasted remarkably till 1958.

This model was made in the 1930s and with some LC and attention is still going well today.
The box van behind the bunker is an additional water carrier connected by a couple of plastic tubes for the axle pump and return on the by-pass. It is a powerful hauler with each of the teak coaches shown being heavy vehicles.

Gauge 3 is very active today and is a similar scale to the larger LGB models

Trevor, she runs well doesn't she, thanks for posting.
That's a wonderful model of one of my favourite prototypes. I can just remember them in their last years, they made a lasting impression despite me being only nine years old when the last was scrapped
 
An impressive looking loco, Trevor, with impressive pulling power - sounds good, too.
