Here is my pre-production prototype Cheddar Models Iver. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST ONE EVER MADE! Several differances between this and the production model. I have found the location of the second prototype and would love to purchase it but he wont sell

Apparently chedder marine boilers are still available of some other company (dont know which one). I wonder if they will bring back the garden railway range. (I always liked the hercues)

Aye Stuart Turner bought out the company. Not making engines yet though
Tim and Claire from Cheddar Models set up a company making boilers called Cheddar Valley Steam

It has nothing to with the Stuart turner company though
