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

(class 55) and 37, the classes

and <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/gb/diesel/46/SD865.jpg 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.

(...) Thanks :-) I particularly like the fact that the effect is easier to achieve with Lego in 8mm scale than in HO or OO in 3.5mm or 4mm scale. Using SNOT with grille tiles gives a finer grille than just alternating plates, and there's some relief (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim)
