Minerva Manning Wardle

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg I have repainted my Manning Wardle and replaced the smokebox door with a scratch built one to the original design. I was surprised how easy it was to take apart for painting.
I didn't like the operating rods as they came in the bright red paint. I thought they looked a bit toy like. So I have painted them black and the loco in a shade of pale green. I have added a few cans and tool and lightly dusted it with weathering powders. I would like a Victorian crew to add to the footplate.
I have tried to get in touch with Claudia Everett for her to paint me a crew from the Modelu range without success. I don't do Facebook and I didn't get a reply from a e-mail I sent to her. If anyone has any ideas how else I can order some of her fabulous figures I would be most grateful.
Colin of this parish converted it to S7 for me.

Michael,

I know that Chris Klein works with Claudia, so perhaps he could put you in touch?

United at last. Twm Sîon Catti and his sweetheart, the Lady of Ystradffin. Actually by the time he finally married her, she was a widow and he was in his 70s. Young love eh.
