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

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.

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. :D

Keep up the fantastic work.

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

Top job there Richard.

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 :D
