I too admire the Scots and perhaps should a kit to my list. I did have a Lee Marsh one on order when it was introduced but the order time-expired at the century’s end of hostilities in 2018 - my father was enlisted in the King’s Liverpool Regiment (46132) in 1917 - and a celebration for the family was planned but never happened.
I found out recently that although 46132 spent most of its life based in its home city, it did have Saltley 21A plates for a short while. My father being a Brummie this would have to be its shed code.
I have now a finished Scot. Very pleased with the finish that Ian Rathbone has achieved, could not believe it was my build when I first put my eyes on it.
The Photos are by no means great buy I hope they give some justice to the finish. The track that the loco is photographed on is very old, it came from Mr G.E.Mann some of his great work is preserved in Bristol M shed museum.
Just a taste of what is in progress.
