          If you can still get hold of the book

          "The Engineering and History of Rocket" by Michael R Bailey and John P Glithero (published by National Railway Museum)

          it will tell you A LOT.

            Rainhill would be close and you could use that as the mechanical part and tart it up to look more like a Rocket. GLR do the castings etc.

            Or as it does not have to work you can still pick up the Airfix kits on e-bay

              Sarik Hobbies, who have a flashing advert' just over there in the far right column–>>

              can supply a General Arrangement of 'Rocket' & tender as at Rainhill trials.

                  An idea of size and purpose would help.

                  Is it big or small? Will it be pushed around by children or sit on a shelf? Must it be an accurate model (and if so, of what stage in this ever-changing machine's history?) or just a reasonable representation?

                    I wouldn't have thought it was still available – is it?

                            thanks all

                            found some drawings for a static model which are ideal its for wood but I can make it from metal
