LNER W1 Hush Hush

I just wanted to show off a couple of pictures of a loco i am working on.

Its an experimental loco built in the 1930’s with a yarrow water tube boiler.

I am working on the valve gear at the moment.

The W1, eh? My all-time favourite weird-looking British streamlined loco. Good stuff, Peter! Who makes the kit? Cheers, Mark.

Nice. Is it a kit or is most of it from scratch? If it’s a kit who made the kit? Do you have any pics of the prototype to share? I’d love to see further progress reports and photos. J.R.

Its a kit made buy south eastern finecast.

Its a supprisingly good fit but it does take a very long time to build.

I will post some more pictures tomorrow.
