TMC Beckhole

I have never see so many beautiful model steam engines in one place before.  This gargantuan 9F is one of their (TMC Model Shop) weathered series and as I recall, it's just like the real thing.  I remember them hauling liquid iron ore from Consett Steel Works down through West Stanley to the rolling mills on the Tyne.  An awesome sight, seeing and hearing these behemoths tackling the Derwent valley gradients in the 1960's.
