   for example I also love the British BR Class 37 especially in dirty faded BR blue like this one!

Wait- This looks like the Deltic 55... what’s the difference?

A lot of the British diesel designs of the 50’s and 60’s had the nose, which is probably their most distinctive design element. As well as the Deltic (class 55) and 37, the classes 40, 44, 45, and 46 also had a long nose. The 37 is a lower power design and a Co-Co, the 40, 44, 45 and 46 are all fairly similar and more powerful 1-Co-Co-1s...

Finally got round to posting some pics of my Class 44 Peak diesel engine. When moving over the points, the articulated bogies are a sight to behold!

(...) Hey just had to chime in. I like the engine, but I had to add that I like the "support beam visible through the vent effect" that you did with the SNOTted grille tiles. Chris (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
