Had a nice time at the East Grinstead show, managed to finish a small painting and have plenty of chats on railways and art etc. etc..

The sun came into the room nicely at the end of the day Saturday so grabbed a few pics and cheated a bit on the scenery with Photoshop..

I displayed three LNER locos and by co-incidence these are models of what three different groups are endeavouring to create full size, I hope they succeed!

Lastly on another site someone mentioned that streamlined locos looked best in blue, so I decided to photoshop a photo of my P2 to see what it might have looked like if Mr T hadn't chewed it up - it might have been classified 9P!

Almost tempted to have it repainted blue, but I think the builder would have a fit, having carefully lined out those 8 drivers!

I caught on that the show was on a a little late matthew... I'd have popped over otherwise with my two in tow... but getting them out in the sunshine was possibly the healthier option  - for them and my wallet ;-)

 

Hope to see you on Friday

Yes - much better to be outdoors, but it was a nice little show - will go again next year.

See you Friday.

The P2 does look good like that-let's hope the Doncaster group build the new CotN, so we can see it like this!

Agreed, have you got any further with your P2 type profiles?
