I thought I would start this thread to publicise Mr Birds fantastic steam engines to our newer members
Who perhaps are not familiar with them
Mr Bird made a range of five steam engines somewhere between 1947 and 1953
All had the prefix number of 13, followed by the designation number of 1 to 5
The steam engines were named after Sydney's two sons Cyril and Donald, well I should say an amalgamation of there names
The Models where named Cyldon and numbered:
13/1 .
13/2
13/3
13/4
13/5
And now for the interesting part, the photos
Pics are of the Cyldon 13/3, 13/4, 13/5
Can someone add a 13/1 & 13/2 to this thread please
