Very nice. Just one thing, would it be possible to do the wheel rims black? It makes them look so much more solid and "train set" like.

Disclaimer. The above is my own personal opinion. It is not meant to insult anyone, start a flame war, cause models to be withdrawn from UKTS, add to the greenhouse effect or cause any stress, inconvenience, or distress to anyone in any form what-so ever.

The engine looks good, but I think you need to dull that metal finish somewhat - personally I would say that it is too bright.

The gap under the cab doesnt look right, I dont remember just the injector overflow pipes being under there

Looks really good and captures the size and shape of the prototype really well. I agree that the wheels and motion are a wee bit too bright but black would be wrong - it just needs dulled down a little.

Look forward to it being available.

Yes. Midland Railway Butterley, which the Princess is coming in.

Nice engine. I look forward to driving her on Thames Mersey. I am sure the tender was correct for much of the locos life. Having started with a funny kind of enlarged Fowler tender, she then got a Stanier curved sided 9 ton tender, and then soon after a 10 ton tender with coal pusher the same as the Duchesses. (Not sure what she is preserved with, but in LMS days all the pacifics except 6202 eventually ran with 10 ton tenders.)

The tender she is shown with above, is 6233s, which has been modified in preservation to give her more capacity for longer tours. 6201 and 46203s tenders are still 'in production'.

A very nice model, although the textures don't seem to be at their best, the running board is a different colour from the internal cylinder covers beneath the smokebox are different colours for when, still a superb effort

Well I'll certainly have one!

I too think it's a bit too clean... Perhaps you could give us 2 Lizzies, one like that and one as she'd look after a good mainline run and a steam gala weekend! Pretty please...

Hopefully - there'll be a few variations uploaded to UKTS soon after the MRB launch date ( of course requiring the original model ) and we're currently discussing a reskin policy and upload system. Lizzie will be clean on the addon, however a 'in service' version will be remembered to be done.
