Re: [Half inch live steam forum] Keniston's GNR Atlantic

Hi Rich I dont think so as the model has all the
correct patina for not having been rebuilt. Someone
has started to repaint the tender a rather bright
version of GNR green but appart from this the model is
unmolested. Will keep you informed if I get any
furhter information. regards Robin

Hi there Robin,

One thought - is the coal fired boiler a more recent
addition? Are there
any clues to suggest that it might have been spririt
fired originally?

Yours,


Rich.
