Sultan is complete and looking splendid
I would like the model to be a tribute to Brunel, that visionary engineer who conceived the Broad Gauge railway. His understanding that the wider the gauge the lower the centre of gravity thus allowing for a smoother ride for carriages and faster speeds for engines.
Although Brunel’s railway was acknowledged as superior to the standard gauge, the practicality of integrating with the standard gauge that all the new railways had adopted meant it had no future.
The GWR’s CME Denel Gooch designed the magnificent Rover class engines giving the Broad Gauge its last celebration
