Here’s a new British loco in 8mm:1ft scale. It is 50033 “Glorious” in memory
of the real engine of that name being shut up in Swindon (UK) STEAM museum,
fully serviceable but unable to run - what a shame! Still, you can go and
see it without finding that it’s attending another railway’s gala weekend!
The trucks are “Clay Hoods” used for transferring ball clay, seen often in
Cornwall (SW England) until newer wagons replaced them.

The loco features opening doors and removeable cab roof sections, to allow
the driver to be placed inside. The bogies are articulated, with one train
motor each and a wire connecting the two for better load sharing.
PLMKWYT!

For those that don’t know what a real class 50 looks like (most of the world I
should imagine!) is a pic of the real 50033

class 50 brings up a Lego one top of the list, Samarth’s Ldraw version!)
