Great Western Railway Rectank |
A 7mm scale model of a
GWR Rectank and bridge girder load that were entirely scratch built (including
the wheels, buffing gear and couplings) from brass,
acrylic and plastic card. These bogie vehicles were originally built for transporting
military tanks during the Great War but most were sold into commercial
service at the end of the hostilities; some were sold to the major
railways and others were sold to heavy industries, such as steel works and foundries.
