Apologies for butting in, but this short video on Youtube demonstrates that the art of modelling in VERY large scale has not evaded us here in UK.

The Peppercorn A1 'Tornado' is the first full-size Class 1 passenger loomotive to be built in UK for over 50 years.  All of us who had anything whatsoever to do with this venture over the years are VERY proud of the effort made by the team that have built this beautiful locomotive.

All I can say is - Mr Pullen - are you looking at the next Aster British outline model? /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/whistling.gif

Hi,
Here is a link to another "modern steam" effort (albeit commercial): http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/slm.html

From the company's website: http://www.dlm-ag.ch/index2_nonjava-en.htm Note that, if memory serves me well, the French locomotive at the bottom (141 R ''l'américaine'' )was manufacturered in the USA (I'm not sure of the manufacturer) and delivered right after world war II to help the SNCF get back in business...

More projects: http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/new_steam.html

Greetings,
David

Hi Tac,
Thanks for the detailed information. While I knew that quite a few were built, I did not know they came from multiple manufacturers (although thinking back it makes sense /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blush.gif)...

Greetings,
David
