thats fantastic, I never knew anyone ever did a commercial live steam model of a Skylark!cncmodeller:96596 wrote:Digging around I managed to find these photos of my Archangel C and M Princess dating from July 1986. The images show it in original condition and while in use later with added detail such as cab beading, riveted and glazed cab windows, scale sand pots [ which is the only thing I have left!] and green livery with lining.
I returned it back to original condition before I sold it and notice the odd shaped original sand domes unlike any other Princess I have seen, I wonder where it is now?

There was a Rowland Emmet cartoon somewhere which showed a driver pushing a chimney brush up a funnel and school books, satchels etc. coming out the top. I was going to "open the front door" of the boiler, but sadly Stewart Browne has constructed it so that the whole of the front comes away for cleaning ... so my cunning plan to stick one of my St. Trinians girls in there head first was foiled. But you get the idea ....IrishPeter:98206 wrote:Is a broom in the chimney the local version of the "Do not move" sign?

I think that your explanation has a basis in logic that sadly I can´t attain ;) :roll:

If you have a Rowland Emett question, then I'm your man!kandnwlr:98217 wrote:

I have all of his books way back to 1943 and can show the cartoon you mention from 'Emett's Ministry of Transport', published 1981.
Another version on the same theme is taken from 'The Early Morning Milk Train'. Two identical volumes of the same cartoons were printed in Britain by John Murray in 1976, and in USA by The Stephen Greene Press in 1977....

New Build Archangel
This discussion prompted me to order a new Skylark as I always regretted selling my 1985 one, Stewarts photo shows it below, as you can see there are many improvements in detail and this one is a meths burner which I personally prefer and is in keeping with the origins of this branch of Narrow Gauge modelling.
