LBSCR D1

London Brighton & South Coast Railway D1

The loco is G3 scale 2.5in gauge, it is built using a CNC mill to cut the parts inc the wheels. The lined panels are transfers drawn on the CAD programme.
The engine is electric powered with R/C

I like it.

It seems simple and elegant, but looks more interesting as you look at it more closely.

Being from the USA, I'm used to seeing locomotives with a different overall "look." I consider it a pleasure to see models from other parts of the world. If I could wish for a change in circumstances, I would like to visit the many fine railroad and other industrial museums in Britain and Europe.

Thank You for. posting,

congratulations from a gauge one buffs !

The locomotive looks fantastic!

You did a great job with the colors and lines. What's the copper pipe from the smokebox to the water tank for?

Another beautiful model to add to the display of elegant and fascinating historic locos that you have been making.  The "improved engine green" and the lining makes this fine tank loco look very stunning.  Dave

Thanks for the kind comments, the loco is radio controled.

The copper pipe from the smokebox to the water tanks is for the exhaust steam to condence back to water.

Hi Mike, thanks for the information. I've never seen that before with steam locomotives.

But the model of the locomotive is first class. I used to have a model railway (HO scale) and once tried building carriages and steam locomotives myself. The carriage is made of cardboard and the locomotive of tinplate. But the chassis are from commercially available manufacturers.

I've always loved the "Improved Engine Green" colour scheme.
