Westfield locomotive engineer Neil Carey can't resist a challenge and that is exactly what he got when he built a Meccano model of 'Challenger' type 3985, the largest steam locomotive presently operating in the world. This model was just over 10 feet long and 56 kilograms! |
The nine months of toil taken to construct the model earned Neil the Bruce Baxter Memorial Trophy for the most outstanding model at the exhibition. |
