Our model of Merddin Emrys was the first of three Backwoods Double Fairlies built by Himself.
If it looks a little different it's because we finished ours to look like it was in 1988 when it first emerged from its Victorian rebuild with oil tanks and less bling about it than it has theses days.
What a beauty it is with those lovely big Fairlie wheels.
It wasn't Pete's first 009 kit but I regard it as the one which changed the rules on what was possible in this scale.
I hope that one day a manufacturer will take the obvious step of producing an RTR Fairlie, I'm certain it would be a big hit.
