It looks German with an American color scheme
I certainly wouldn't want to see that on the WCML, never mind the ECML or NYMR

Some interesting projects there - the LNWR King George V would be superb to see

Its a GCR Immingham, If you get on to the Dutch site click the Union Jack and it gives a summary in stilted English.

The control system for automatic Walschaert gear could be interesting! Stick the loco in D?
