Running late..

With Himself undertaking lineside clearance work at tunnel South on the FR, in between building stock for Bron Hebog and the Guru busy at his Berkshire stables, work on New Mills has been rather patchy of late. However, here is another in our series of Models of the Week..or should that be month!

46245 City of London is one of our fleet of LMS pacifics. In the early 1960s Duchess and Princess class locos began to look rather tired, if not unkempt, a sad end to what were the flaghips of the WCML. However, 46245 was an exception due to it's regular deployment on specials and contempoary photos show it in a clean and polished state right up to it's final demise in October 1964  Consequently our model is only lightly weathered to respect this and is certainly our cleanest pacific on New Mills!
