Pipe dream takes a step forward.

I have today commissioned a body to be made for a SR Leader class in O gauge, interesting project that failed back in the late 40s, i hope to do better. For those who have not heard of it, read this a very different loco indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR_Leader_class

Nice one Brian.

The trouble with the real one was as the driver sat in a comfy cab, the fireman practically burnt to death on the enclosed footplate.
