Match the prototype

P.R. Marshall, Burton-on-trent

I’ve built around 12 locomotives out of matchsticks over the last 20 years. They’re approximately 1:20 scale, and Flying Scotsman (below) contains about 35,000 matches! I’ve since switched media and now scratchbuild in card. So far, I’ve built LMS 4-6-0 ‘7P’ No. 46100 Royal Scot (pictured), an LMS ‘Patriot’, and a BR ‘5MT’ (all in 1:20 scale). I’m currently working on a BR ‘Britannia’.
