Looks great Mick. Thanks for another excellent job. I now have three of the King's Cross quartet of new build A3s. Only "Spion Kop" to go!

Nicely done with the 4-6-4s. I suppose I would say that though, wouldn't I?

A startling illustration of photographic variations in colour rendering too, especially the blues.

They are all the same colour and from the same tin!! . The B1 is not that lurid shade either. The joys of artificial light and a crap winters day !!! :shock: :D

Nice work as usual Mick, I remember a D49 at Doncaster in 2003 which was very similar in "brilliant" green.

I was tempted to call the shade on Morayshire at the time "pea green". The B1 at Donny on that occasion struck me as fairly bright...

A great picture there Mick. Merry Christmas to you too!

I wonder why the D49 has a GWR tender behind it and ahead of the train...?
