After just getting back from wales I have had some inspiration. I am going to build an england tank. This will be built on a bertie chassis with RC on the regulator. I will be building a Large england tank in a perservation era guies, this gives me liecense to do what the hell I like with the livery and a few of the details

Looking forward to see progress, this is the type of thing I can't do, mainly because I can't silver solder (but wuld love to build a cracker

)

If it's half as good as Mr Munday's it'll be brilliant. For that matter, if it's half as good as the rest of the stuff you've done... it'll be brilliant!

Can't wait to see the progress, England locos are certainly very nice.

well I have my bertie chassis and will help from Will and Geoff Munday I have my drawings for the loco complete but waiting on more details for the tender. the loco is scale although the ride hight is 3mm too high. I cant help this as I cant get the footplate to sit any lower.

Due to several rebuilds the current england engines have a scale of 13inches to the foot
