    Just wondering if anyone has come across this model locomotive,based on the 1908 No.111 "The Great Bear' 4-6-2 Pacific.
    The length overall was 6ft 3ins.
    It dates back 80-years,and was built by a member of the Rodbourne Cheney Engineering club at Swindon.
    It was a working model and gave trips around local events back in the 1930's.It had a special open carriage to take the driver and 3 grown ups.

    It was sold on around the 1950/60's period.

    Hi there My great uncle George Ward from the Swindon Power boat & engineering club made the The Moonraker 5" gauge engine, I have a rare picture of it and I would like to know where it is and as far as I know he sold it to Beatties of London back in the 50's and thats the last I know about it, any help would be great
