Like the steam loco, John. Is the diesel supposed to be inspired by an 'F unit'?

Ish
I designed what was pleasing to me. I suspect that the F unit was inspired by the Glenthorne design. I cannot see the Americans coming up with it on their own! ;D

The steamer is a Rheidol/Matheran cross!

Very nice John.

The steamer would look very nice trundling up Glen Ogle.

Now then Ivan, you know I can't match that, despite my best efforts. ;D

Mind you, that would look a little out of place on Glen Ogles viaduct.

Very nice though it looks.

Kind regards,

Oh how freelancing is such fun when done well as these two clearly are; they demonstrate how much the art of freelancing depends on believability and the appearance of "fit for purpose"

I always lay out my freelance locomotives to make sure they would operate in real life.

wonderful pics, watching a train pass through that scene makes it all worthwhile
