I'm afraid not, although it looks like it's from one of the companies that formed the LMS (cough, splutter). You've stumbled upon a small goldmine with him as far as deviantART is concerned. He's one of only about six or seven people on dA that can competantly draw accurate and prototypical locomotives, me included, athough for now I'm only doing pixel graphics on the drawing side of things
http://2509-silverlink.deviantart.com/a ... _type=edit. I haven't got round to doing 3/4 locos yet, as the first few drawings I did got ruined in the rain ( a cheap artist tube was at fault) on the way back from college.

Yes I was thinking GNSR too.
Note the splasher design (albeit under-sized!) and the round-topped firebox.

Isn't that livery - Stroudley's Improved Engine Green?
