Scottish Garden Railways - Pacifics

I was contacted recently by someone who lives in the Glasgow area and can't just leave the Aristo-craft pacific alone(Art. No. 21401 on in the catalogue or see www.aristocraft.com ). Any he gets are immediately chopped and changed into representations of other USA mainline locomotives. (There is also one chop based on a Bachmann Big Hauler). I can't be sure if I got all this right but it certainly looks fascinating. Several are pictured on the turntable of his old layout. This layout is now dismantled and will be replaced soon.

(Sound on this page is of Ex LNER B1 No.61264 leaving Perth)
