I've posted the following in the "Private Sales" section but some people who only look at the "Live Steam" section may miss it, so here it is again.
I'm selling my Pearse "Earl". It's a reluctant sale but, like Tag Gorton, I'm moving away from gas fired locos to coal firing and this will help fund a new coal fired loco. My "Earl" is S/N 708, 17th March 2008, in unlined black - one of the last ones to be made. The condition is "very good" i.e. not quite perfect because it's been run. It's currently running on 45mm but can be re-gauged to 32mm if necessary. It has a "factory fitted" Futaba 6 channel 2.4GHz radio control - using three channels which operate the steam regulator, reverser and whistle; "factory fitted" Accucraft round chopper couplers; and a Quick fill boiler filling system. It also has a "Summerlands Chuffer", fitted by Mr Summerlands Chuffer himself! The price is £1,500. If you're interested and would like to see some more images please go to http://www.gscalecentral.net/www.jacksonsminiatures.com/earl.html < Link To www.jacksonsminiatures.com/earl.html . (This a private sale. JML is just hosting the larger size images). There's also some "You Tube" videos of it in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj2Kn_BK7ZI and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGPQQje1qtc The Pearse Earl is a different beast from the Accucraft version. In some ways the level of detail is not as good, but there are some features you won't find on the Accucraft loco, like the maker's plates on the smokebox and the firebox showing below the frames. It is a substantial, hand built loco that will last for years, and of course there will be no more built. Steve

Seriously I think sometimes a bit of artistic licence is better than strict scale in terms of appearance.
