I was just demonstrating my pig ignorance as a "young whippersnapper" brought up in a world of blue diesels

The confusion probably stems from my best mate having one of the Lima models when we were growing up and that was repeatedly referred to as "The Flying Banana", although I suspect this too was, in fact, the later GWR-built variant as modelled so brilliantly by yourself.

Either way, top stuff, chap!

Cheers, Rik.

Hi,

Fantastic model - you've really captured its character.

Cheers

Excellent work !

Just need a nice GWR country branch to put it to work.

Awesome, just awesome. Of course you know as soon as you finish it, somebody is going to ask for the parcel and the DMU variants of it.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Superb!

It saw service on the SVR in its late service / early preservation years

Top job there Richard.

I remember seeing this at the Didcot Railway Center when i visited in 2007, looks excellent, another toy for me to piddle around the Railway Center in when it gets released.

fantastic model.

Fantastic work mate!

Yes, very smart model!

Brilliant work Richard the gloss shader really does justice to the side panelling - look at that smoth shine. Also a fairly complicated shape - well reproduced - i'm glad you have managed to find the time to model an item you have wanted to do for a number of years, i'm sure its more than satisfying to see your hard work in game!

All the best on constructing the cab
