5 inch gauge Merchant Navy rebuilt 35003 Royal Mail

5 inch gauge MERCHANT NAVY 35003 ROYAL MAIL LOCOMOTIVE BUILT 1992 AND WON THE BRONZE MEDAL AT ALEXANDER PALACE
I OWN THIS LOCOMOTIVE (STEAMDAYS.CO.UK)
This 5 inch gauge Re-built Bulleid Pacific 35003, 'Royal Mail' was built by John Coleman then in the Bristol Society, around 1990; using works drawings prepared by Bernard North. The locomotive was exhibited at the 1992 Model Engineering Exhibition at Alexandra Palace, and was awarded a Bronze Medal.

The engine saw relatively little use since John Coleman who is a most prolific builder, went on to produce a magnificent 5 inch gauge King Arthur Class, other Southern Engines and a 7¼ inch GWR tank. In turn, all these locos were sold to make room for the next.
