Hmmmm, it looks like a mixture of a Stanier 4 and a Black 5 through my eyes, you had my hopes up, I thought it was a Black 5! :cry: :cry: :roll: :lol:

Standard Class 5- nice beastie, will go well with their 9F and Brit, and the Standard 4 tank someone else does...

It's Aster so it's gauge 1, 45mm- but I'm not sure what scale, 10mm/ft or 1:32.

I'm sure it's possible, how easy it would be however is a different question, one I do not know the answer too.

Hi

Hi all. There are videos of the New Aster Standard 5 on youtube, very impressive performer. The 4MT Tank and Brittania Models are from the Gauge One Model Company and are both extremely powerful and fine runners. I have one of each and have just finished laying the first part of my garden line. (see photo section) so hope to have some videos up soon too! :D
