My Cheddar Model Iver

Post by steamyjim » Thu Oct 18, 2007 9:27 am

Here is my pre-production prototype Cheddar Models Iver. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST ONE EVER MADE! Several differances between this and the production model. I have found the location of the second prototype and would love to purchase it but he wont sell :lol:

Unfortunatley the company who make them have now shut down but you may be able to get one secondhand. One went on ebay recently for £255

Aye Stuart Turner bought out the company. Not making engines yet though ;)

Tim and Claire from Cheddar Models set up a company making boilers called Cheddar Valley Steam ;)
