One of the nicest looking paddlers ever, in my opinion!

I'll second that! Great lines and in Barry Railway colours I bet she looked something special in real life!

Had a quick look today - nice display. There are 2 models on show - sadly the 9ft one is behind a board and can only be viewed from outside or by looking around the side of the board! It is very impressive . . .

The lady in the Libary said I wasn't allowed to take any pictures due to copyright issues - bloody council workers!!!  :police:

Anyway . . . . see below  taken with my phone! 8)

I know the name of the chap who built the models so will try and speak to him to find out when he has the model afloat.
