Tim goes off on another tangent....

After a recent inspirational visit to the Steam Musem in Swindon, I have started another project! This is going to be a long one, but having just spent the best part of £100 on the drawings, I REALLY aim to finish this one! In the words of the great Rolf Harris, 'Can you see what it is yet?'

Tim,

Let me guess? It's a choo-choo of some sort. Probably one of those dampf things the Germans keep fettering about. By the looks of it it's a big choo-choo. The "Flying Scotsman" is just a wild guess..., Rhino 4 I see.

4-6-0 would make KGV of the GWR 6000 class an obvious possibility but I'm not sure the frame shape would fit.

(Sorry Gil but they were altogether inferior to the Gresley Pacifics of the LNER.

You're absolutely right... All those Great Western tin cans that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding,
were inferior to the Gresley Locomotives. No need for you to duck for cover......

Of course you forgot to mention that the whole lot including the Gresley locomotives were in fact totally
inferior to the LMS Stanier Pacific Locomotives. :D

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

That must be why 4472 achieved the first authenticated ton and the Mallard still holds the World's speed record for steam. :p

:D

Maurice, you are closest, but no cigar......

And I am not going to get drawn into an argument over locos., other than to say it wasn't called 'Gods Wonderful Railway' for nothing....

Alright guys...Don't get all steamed up. Wye not switch the subject? Some people have tender feelings.

Having gotten those out of my system I will be watching with great interest. Railroads were one of my first loves and I'm long overdue to try something rail-related.
