New TTAs up the HML (big pics).

[GaryL]

Took 37401 for a spin with the new BP TTAs (from MTWW) on the HML. Must congratulate both Allan Wright and Jon Champy for such a cracking model and allowing me to post some screenshots of them here. Superb work. Due to be released early next year.

Many thanks Gary for the kind comments, and thanks for posting some fantastic screenshots. The first thing i must do to them is correct the handbrake on them as they should be facing the none TOPS panel end. Tis not a big job so won't affect the release schudule of them.
