Specially the B4 (though my stuff is all 1:19 and 1:20.3 size). But the 7/8 Hunslet sets off the bells and whistles especially in the price range given. I'd be up for one of those!

The last survivor, "Woolwich", is currently being restored. While these engines were 18" gauge, there looks to be ample room between the frames to allow a dual-gauge design.

What great news. After a 52 year lifetime of railway modelling and lusting after a QF in a scale that you can actually see it, and without needing a truck and hiab to transport it, our prayers have been answered. Please pencil a cabbed version in to make an overseas journey To Oz. Thanks! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! What great news.

Perhaps you'd let us walk before we run! :-) Everything depends on the take up of this initial batch of Hunslets, if it is good we'll progress other 7/8ths scale projects we have in mind. Are you aware that Acme engineering make quarry rolling stock in this scale? Thank you for your support. Perhaps you’d let us walk before we run!
