Henry 1 - Complete!

If you are reading this paragraph, then you are correct, Henry, as he looked in the early days of the Thomas series, before he was rebuilt, has recently been completed, and, like all other models within this blog, has been completely scratchbuilt. The model currently is running on a Hornby 4-6-0 chassis that used to belong to a LNER B17, and is tender driven.

I myself personally am proud of the final outcome with the project, although i did alot of work to make the running plate as low as i possibly could, when i matched it up to the other models in the Hornby range, it was no different in scale, but just a little higher, which i don't mind, as the model really was made just for personal use, wether i will use it in the episodes is another story.

The colour is Plasti-kote 'Garden Green', with HMRS red lining. The face, is moulded from a Bachmann Henry, and though many might just have a little pick at the model, i'm happy with it, even if it isn't 100% to others standards in modelling.
