Oh my god this looks real. The super-detail and weathering on the models and layout + camera work really sells it. The paint texture/weathering on the engines is impossibly good, and the detailed brickwork and convincing grass on these locations... Wow. I'm blown away this is amazing!

Very nicely done - indeed. Two things about the A4. A shame LNER insisted on painting the front black, but otherwise when standing on a platform - which 99% of people would have done in the day - the A4 appears the sleeker because the wheels are so nicely hidden.

@NEVILLEGROVE

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes possibly, and it has a greater rake to the front nose. But it struck me when working on "Coronation" (my first streamlined Stanier after many A4's) how much attention to detail was put in by the LMS drawing office (and commendably Hornby). For example the handrails terminate by curving and disappearing into the casing whereas on the A4 they abruptly end on a spigot as per conventional steam loco designs. The complex and compound curves of the LMS streamlined casing is also very impressive - seeing 6229 at the NRM for the first time was breathtaking.
