Lovely stuff as always, this truely is the way to travel, I like the duchess one and the snowy/foggy ones the most, B1 looks quite at home at clacton also

I have to say the first shot is superb, and not just because of the loco featured........! The rest don't look bad either!

Quite like the J15 shot

Excellent - like the winter scenes the most.
Which route is the Ivatt tank shot taken on by the way?

They really are nice.

Superb, quality screenies.

Thanks very much,

They did indeed, took a couple of hours at least to choose the stock, routes, resizing etc!

What's the engine in the antepenultimate shot? Looks like a mishmash of various engine types, and I've never seen anything like it before. Kind of cute though, just what my model railway needs at the moment...

Do you mean the little tank? 060 with external cylinders?

I assume skinnylinny by saying penultimate, you mean the B12 4-6-0, introduced by Edward Thompson to the LNER, which were still being built after nationalisation?

The final shot is a GWR (designed) Manor class loco 7820 "Dinmor Manor" mixed traffic engine (5MT) which was also made after Nationalisation.

The one before the B12 is a BR (ex LMS) 2F dock tank.

They are all really good models.

I think you meant 'prepenultimate' (second from last - 'antepenultimate' would mean it's the last shot)?. If it's the shot of the tank engine in the snow, this is a Fowler LMS 2F Dock Tank ('Beetlecrusher') - it looks a bit like a squashed Jinty . Only 10 were built, they were designed for shunting on dockside lines which had sharp curves. The one in the shot is from the BATS LMS Tank Engines add-on - more pics on this thread http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... &start=111.

Minitrix made an N gauge model in the 1970s/80s (a collector's model now). As few UK prototype models were available in the scale at the time, every layout had one!
K's made a whitemetal kit for 4mm/00 around the same time which is no longer made. Currently 'Mercian Models' produce a kit in several scales http://www.modelrailways.tv/standard_gauge/mainline.htm - assembling that valve gear looks like quite a task though
