I use 3DS max for all my models, and I am plannig to use gmax for all future stuff, as a test I have managed to export one of my locos into the sim, without too much hassle. If you would like to send me the gmax file and the texture file I will have a look at it, I cant promise anything, I very much...

Yes someone asked what the Kuju Deltic was, I cant find where it was right now... (too much Stella I think), so I dug out my old comparison shot and re-posted it.

I found my rather cheeky side by side of my 55021 and Kuju's 55018, I hope you can you tell which is which....

eddief: yes I was sent photos of AUREOL's nameplates by two people, I was going to use one for each side, but I would have had to make them smaller, so I will credit both sources and not say which one I used... I have been working on it a bit today, the nameplate background is now a better match, I ...

Getting a bit closer... I think

re: D1628 47046 47601 47901, I thought it was renumbered to 601 when it bacame the test bed for the Ruston-Paxman 16RK3CT 16cyl engine for the class 56 and to 901 when it had the GEC/Ruston 12RK3ACT 12cyl fitted to become the class 58 test bed. re:Preserved 58's, 58050 has been claimed by the Nation...

Thanks for the feedback, I went ahead and released it after lightening it up a bit.

Daryn, I took them myself this morning, I work at University College London just over the road from Euston so I went AWOL for a bit, found an unmolested 47488 at St Pancras as well.
