This remarkable collection of most of the 16mm scale drawings of Donald Pearse's Accucraft's models was collected into a single binder by his son, Ian Pearse. For anybody wishing to build their own versions of these fine models, there really is no other way to get it right than by using the very drawings used to by Bing Cheng to make them.
Something to study and to use, or just to treasure, they are ONLY available as a bound volume from Ian from his home address - PM me for details - for £25.00 post paid in UK - no doubt there is a different rate for the island of Ireland.
Please note that there are not many left. - NOT a sales ploy, but numbers are VERY limited.
I have some good memories of chats with Don over the years - an incredibly versatile and multi-talented gentleman of the old school, whose like we shall never see again. I recall us standing together at a show where the then-new Beyer-Garratt NGG16 was shown to the public for the very first time. It was presented in that hideous shade of an amalgam of bile green and turquoise blue, apparently called 'Millennium Green'. I instantly called it 'bleen', causing Don to splutter his tea. I told him that if they ever made it in maroon, then I'd buy one, but not until...
Shortly afterwards, when I'd been back in Japan for a couple of months, there it was, on sale at Mr Steeles train emporium near Gloucester. I called him up and bought it for collection when I returned. The Pearse family graciously allowed me to name my loco after him.
