@BillingtonE2 It's an old Stewart Reidpath model. Wilbert bought this one back in the late 40's or the NWR layout and still runs to this day. It had a repaint when it was in preservation and new lining and number 1.
TTTE has done wonders for the world but is a shame to think that only for it some of those steam engines would've been broken up :/ Don't get me wrong it's nice that it came to the rescue but I'm a bit mixed on relics being lost to time as I've been into railways for a good portion of my life; not just because of thomas :) Anyway cheers for sharing :D
Wow, Awdry's model railway still works?

I wonder why Sir Handel has Duncan's face at 0:14 ? Maybe Peter Sam behind him didn't have his own XD
