Description: J.G. Robinson's first design for the Great Central Railway. No 978 was one of the first batch built by Neilson, Reid and Co. in 1902. Some of these general purpose medium good engines were based locally at Neasden and Woodford and worked the joint lines.
A David Andrews etched brass and nickel silver kit in 7mm finescale with Slaters wheels, Machima motor and added detail. Early features include rerailing jacks both side of the footplate, Ramsbottom safety valves, tender coal rails and Robinson's tender 'shipwheel' for controlling the water scoop. Finished in GCE black loco livery with gentle weathering representing a well kept engine in the Edwardian ear.
