They’re my favourites!

@@FlyingScotsDan well, I can’t blame you. Personally, my two favorite examples of the locomotives with this type of streamlining are A4, Dwight D, Eisenhower and P2 cock O’ the north. In terms of paint schemes I like the dark blue of the LNER era and conversely, I also like the 1940s war time black era paint. The reason for this is I have Long preferred its pre-war era appearance to its postwar British railways paint scheme, and I also think that the wartime black paint is honestly more fitting for the locomotive Dwight D Eisenhower, since it had this paint scheme when it was the train used for Dwight D Eisenhower’s command train in Britain during World War II. I understand it didn’t get the name until right after the war, but I always have felt that if it was in its war time, black paint scheme rather than the olive green paint scheme of BR that it would be more fitting, even if it still had its postwar nameplate on. Part of the reason that I like this A4, the most is that I actually have a slight personal connection to it as I have seen this locomotive on display in Wisconsin when I once traveled up there. It is on display along with two passenger coaches, one of them in the appearance of how they would’ve looked like in the 1950s after the war during the BR era and the other one armor plated as it would’ve been during World War II. The locomotive Dwight D Eisenhower looks quite nice even in its olive green paint scheme of BR that I personally think is more fitting for locomotives like evening star. It’s also quite interesting to see the visible differences between American and British locomotives since it is right next to an American, big boy locomotive and a few smaller steam engines from the United States and a streamlined Pennsylvania GG1 electric locomotive. That being said, I am not necessarily opposed to the BR olive green paint scheme on these locomotives, but I don’t think it is as fitting as the other options.

@@lucasquintanilla1673 In my opinion the BR green looks HIDEOUS on the A4, and was nothing less than a BETRAYAL. I do agree about the full BR Swindon passenger livery on Evening Star. It was the last of the breed, the end of an era, and deserved to be special.

@@tooleyheadbang4239what about the paint scheme being used on flying Scotsman?

@@lucasquintanilla1673 Again, a betrayal. Swindon green on an LNER locomotive with such impeccable Great Northern pedigree is simply not good enough.

Thanks pal!

Yes, Hornby have released Prince of Wales at the same time as this one :)

@@FlyingScotsDan have you ever considered running Prince of Wales with any of the other class members that were made before it? Obviously this is totally non-realistic. But that’s kind of the fun about it. If I ever do model railroading of European railways, I want to do something like this for Tornado, and for Prince of Wales doubleheading with their original class members, and I wanted to ask what sort of explanation could I do for story building purposes for such an event on my layout, as I like to tell a story when I do stuff like that. As such, I wanted to know if there is any sort of narrative or explanation as to how such a impossible doubleheader could happen that you could think of?

I haven’t got any A1 Peppercorns as of yet - I’d like to get Tornado in BR Green at some point but I’m kinda hoping one of the manufacturers updates the A1s & A2s with some newer toolings first. The existing ones are ok but a bit long in the tooth now!

@@FlyingScotsDan what about my suggestion of doubleheading tornado with one of its original class members, or doing the same thing with Prince of Wales? I I have been trying to think of some kind of explanation for this, because I like to think of narratives and stories, whenever I do model railroading, and such a impossible thing is both simultaneously very interesting, and yet also very hard to think of any kind of explanation as to how such a paradoxical event would be happening. Great video by the way!

@@lucasquintanilla1673 best thing about model railways is you don't need an explanation. Ina few tears both Tornado & PoW will be steaming on the rails so perfectly plausible they could run together!

@@FlyingScotsDan well, I guess I meant both locomotives doubleheading with their original class members which would be quite a paradox! It reminds me of a funny quote from one of the metal gear solid games “snake what have you’ve done! you’ve changed the future! you’ve created a paradox!”

and I just purchased an LNER W1 from ebay too, so I can at least run a rake of unlighted Pullman coaches behind it! Love the sounds of the train running across the joints in the track

Handmade by the club members - really makes a difference.

Thanks! She’s a stunning model!

Thank you! Cheers!

It’s OO

@@FlyingScotsDanlooks well

Ahhh thanks for joining! Glad you like the videos! It’s not my layout (as much as I love it) because I don’t have room for a layout at home I’ve joined the Manchester club and it’s their OO gauge layout which they put the effort into creating - I’m lucky enough to have access to it!

@@FlyingScotsDan Still a great thing to see! You've actually given me a great idea to try and find a local model railway club myself!

They’re 3D printed ones from ModelU.

@@FlyingScotsDanIt's hard to see but do they have lights in them?

@@Dragon125125 no they don’t unfortunately - just clear plastic lenses. Light up ones would be nice but it’s a lot of effort!

@@FlyingScotsDan Thank you for all the info!!!

Aww thanks - glad you're enjoying!

Thanks Sam! - getting my head around this RUclips malarkey haha.

Thanks Sam! I’m gaining a reputation at the club for creating as long a take as possible!

Please do! Be great to see you!
