1. This picture was taken at David Morgan-Kirby's summer GTG and shows a 4F on a goods train coming through the rockery.
2. An Aster King Arthur fitted with a cross slide pump by Doug Patman, now owned by Terry Martin.
3. This picture shows the first outing of the North American Project called Colonial. A Twin cylindered 0-6-0 switcher which is as easy to build as the 4F. It has been developed from an Idea by David Morgan-Kirby and built by the New England Loco Works of Paul Huntingdon. On its first public performance it ran like a charm. It needs a lot more detailing etc
