I think this is the one Cherry made.

Very interesting, I didn't know about her until now.

Cherry Hill was a great model engineer and I am sorry to hear that she has passed away.
I have a model in my collection called: Merrywether self-propelled fire engine.
Cherry built the same model, but in much better quality and highly detailed.
She belongs in the Steam Hall of Fame....

My model was built from drawings of a model published by The Engineer and Electrician magazine in 1908:

I have the book "Cherry's Model Engines" and it is fascinating.

Cherry Hill passing is a big loss to the model engineering community.

I had an opportunity to go through the book about her exceptional skills, patience, and her models.

If you find the book I suggest you at least flip through it and view the amazing photographs.
