Class 50 Indomitable
p.261
4mm/00
For our 50th issue, it is appropriate that we should feature a Class 50 – especially one that has obviously seen a bit of action! When we saw the magnificently re-painted and detailed 50s on Ian Metcalfe’s superb 1980’s period 4mm/OO layout ‘Pengwynn Crossing’ we asked for a description but he went one better and started afresh, taking the opportunity to portray an engine which had been quietly challenging him for some time. Under his hands, a gleaming Lima ready-to-run loco becomes the shabby, care-worn but unbowed NSE workhorse Indomitable.
