 Above is a GNR somersault photographed at the National Railway Museum in York. On the left is the model, photographed outside with the sky as a background. |

A close up of the model, in position on the layout. A characteristic of somersault arms was the way that in the clear or off position they were supposed to take up a near vertical position. Photographic evidence suggests that in practice they could be at any angle between 45° and near vertical. The model agrees well with the NRM's example. |

Close up of the doll showing details of the somersault in the "off" position. The white paintwork has become grimy with the smoke of passing trains and there is a hint of rust showing on the lattice bracket. |

Another photograph of the model taken outside on a sunny December day. |
