It's been some time since I've posted in here, so I thought I'd update on my current models.

I've actually been brainstorming ideas on freelance designs, looking at many steam locomotives even if it had to be in standard gauge, even going as far as looking at mainland Europe!

It was certainly a fun but quite tiring process, fortunately I have been able to create two new freelances, a Crampton Tank and a Tank rebuild of the Waverley class that would've seen service up till 1892.

First locomotive that I will be showcasing is the Crampton tank!

I'm actually really proud of this! And is one of my favorite models I've ever built.

I took huge inspiration from the French Crampton locomotives, looking majestic as ever and quite the messy look.

I've added a saddle tank since well It is a tank engine after all! It actually started as a 4-2-0, but one of the pair of wheels were in the way of the rods so I had to replace it with two smaller wheels, which to my surprise actually made me like it more.

Second locomotive, the Crown Class! a fictional locomotive class in my fictional railway, the Crixcombe & Dinquay Railway.

I was originally gonna build the real Waverley class but went a little overboard and ended up making stuff up, and then I was met with this.

I'm actually thinking of applying the livery of the Crown Class to all my other locomotives, still needs some minor re-adjustments but nonetheless, quite a sight to behold.

I also haven't mentioned that its a Well Tank :)

So in summary, I've built a 6-2-0ST and a 4-4-0WT, the first being a product of French Cramptons and the latter cause of boredom.

I look forward to some feedback as i think there may be some stuff wrong with them!

Criticism would also be appreciated so I can learn more! :)
