Fabulous story. Will be a nice mix of stock. Multum in parvo !!

Thanks Alan. Beyer tanks are like that as you know. Simple squares at the back - horrendous curves at the front!!

Yep. Been there done that got the burnt fingers…..

Well done Alan. The Beyer smokebox is a thing of beauty but not easy to replicate, with those subtle curve reversals. Looks great.

Quite agree as it happens. My early working life was spent immersed in archives and historical documents so I am rather concerned to get things right. It’s easier than ever to do that given the resources at the web’s command. Totems are fun but for my own layout fascia I avoided them and copied the actual sign…..

How exciting! I can see some interesting operating sequences developing out of this one.

At Tolworth show, a chap was taking commissions and would have your totem ready to take away at end of show! Mind you, can’t complain. My last workplace gave me a personalised one as a very thoughtful leaving gift.

Excellent - and the undulating bodywork gives it a real ‘patina’ of use. Think you have a similar mantra to the US armed forces. To paraphrase…no kit left behind.

There’s a fantastic Swedish comedy called ‘A Man Called Ove’ about a retired railway engineer. Part of the plot line involves his devotion to Saabs - as against his Volvo-owning neighbour….

Indeed. They’ve all gone. Thank goodness - saves me resisting temptation

You could, although a kit for that particular one already exists in 7mm from alphagraphix

That’s my first thought…..pic courtesy Mike Morant. Would obs need to check dimensions

When we lived near Luton, was always impressed by how the Great Northern pub actually had a proper GNR loco on the sign. Not difficult to do but so rare these days.

Fabulous. That 800 really is the business.

If she does, only one piece of music will do ….
