p.51
7mm/S7
Unconventional, imaginative and progressive in design, Bulleid's imposing Pacifics will be forever associated with the Southern Railway in postwar Britain. With their all-over auri-smoothed casing and Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels, they present a challenge to the model maker, who has to empathize with their imposing stature and character. With masterly skill, Vic Burles has built this refined and detailed 'West Country'. Whether you are a lover of these engines or not, we think you cannot help but be inspired by the quality of Vic's craftsmanship and the sensitivity of his perception in producing this masterpiece.
