That's a very fine model. I don't suppose BR was using these in the '50s though it wouldn't have had those markings as I would find it hard to refuse one a home on my layout?

I particularly like the photo of the 20, two ballast wagons and van. It's really hard to tell it's not the real thing.

Thanks for posting the review.

That makes sense but may be bad news for my wallet

I'll have to look out for the earlier versions.

The contrast between those pictures and Doug's is quite simply staggering. The standard coupler just kills the model effect completely! Doug's photos make me want to buy the wagon. The Hattons shots make me pass on by.

Thanks for the info on availability.
