Nice. Thank You. The colour will work on my BSC GEC Stephenson. Once i get the directional lights fixed in, and roof on that is. Stu

I like that a lot. Is that a Hornby one? or another make. Where did you find the BSC logo. What shade of yellow. Ive not been able to colour match anything too yellow or too orange. that looks fab. Well done.

I hope they do the rod drive in either 040 or 060 form. They could sell it in many more liveries. I work at Tata Steel, Skinningrove and we still use 2x 0-6-0 sentinels in all yellow, hired from LH group Sevices. In 1963, British steel skinningrove as it was then bought 9 sentinels direct from shrewsbury, in one long line. they were all green, with red bufferbeams. Side rods were also red. Since then all the original sentinels have been scrapped, but several other sentinels have passed through. Others include 0-4-0 chain drives, 0-6-0 rod drives. Over the ages the locos have been green, and BSC yellow and white. Hope Hornby do some of the british steel livery. A flickr search of ''sentinel skinningrove'' will show some of these locos. (Please view my pics on there, as stu105e) http://www.flickr.com/photos/46120187@N08/ Link to my photostream with many pics of the more recent works locos; sents, and 0-6-0 yorkshires. It would be nice to be able to buy part finished locos from Hornby for us to paint in our own colours and then apply the decals if we so desire. Saves them producing as many colours as we all prefer, and keeps the cost down of production. I will buy one of these once the initial rush has gone. It will nicly compliment my scratchbuilt GEC Stephenson as used by British steel Redcar. (Also pics of work in progress of this model on flickr stream) Stu
