Old Warden Something a bit special!

8 Attachment(s)

Not many folks got the chance to see this as it was only on display briefly on Saturday afternoon. Owned by Alan Walker and built by an Eddison roller driver of the engine he used to drive. The outfit is 1" scale and superbly detailed and it was pleasure to see as well as being admired by the "Daddy of Model Engineers" Mr Ron Dawe.

Alan said to me about it and I wish I'd had a closer look now, great stuff.

Does the roller it's modelled on still survive?

Nick - I honestly don't know but have asked Alan. She wears Reg Number FX 9878 and fleet number 439 but no works plate.

Also seen at Old Warden was Joe Blacks Foden cylinder block ready for some machining after weld repairs.

I had a close look at the roller and asked Alan and the answer is unfortunately the full size version isn't with us.
