First since it hasn't been done Happy Birthday to IKB
Not that it will be as significant on here but if this is what Brunel gets in steam railway imagine what a certain Sir Nigal Gresley will get hehe.
What do you think to a V2 plus an A4 Talisman style tour for his birth date. When was it there must be a aniverary coming up.

Although IKB couldn't design steam engines for toffee, he was a brilliant engineer in pretty much every other area that he worked in - especially civil engineering.

Gresley was pretty much limited to rolling stock, and made his name with steam engines.
