(...) Thanks Tim, a useful vote of confidence. I just tried 1x3 curved slopes but these will not give the correct shape - it's quite a steeply curved roof, even compared to other BR locos. I think a row of black cheeses at the sides will be the best (...) (18 years ago, 3-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I really like your class 14, I think its your best loco yet which I spose shows how one develops ones skills.
