I saw this train in the window of
a sweet shop in Ealing a few years ago, and decided to buy it as we were just
getting into 28mm ACW following the release of the Perry range. It is a
die cast model and was screwed to a length of plastic track. I paid £9 if
my memory serves me right. I gave it a bit of a paint job to cover up
some of the 'gold' and 'bronze' plastic, but it had no tender.
Jack Alexander thought he could solve this and set about building this tender
from scratch, including modifying the wheels from a couple of OO gauge railway
trucks we picked up cheap at a show
The
effect is excellent and 'yes' he cut all the bits of 'wood'.
It works
really well with our Perry figures and was a very cheap solution to being able
to have ACW games with a railroad.
