Hopefully this a bit better.

A new loco I've been working on that I thought I would show off here first, as Annie's contacts here pointed me in the direction of the relevant edition of Midland Record for the drawings. This model is of a Midland Johnson compound from the second batch with straight valances. I'm not 100% certain I've got the tender livery right. If anyone has any comments please let me know!

Don't forget the other timber viaducts on the same line. There's one over the Afon Dyfi by Dovey Junction and another between Barmouth and Harlech. There was another over the Dwyryd at Pont Briwet that also carried a road but that was replaced as part of a road improvement scheme. They originally intended to keep the old one as a cycle path but accidentally undermined it whilst building the new one. They've done a lot of work on them all recently and they should be god for years to come. Hopefully someone will get their act together and sort out ERTMS for steam so we can see a return of the daily summer Cambrian Coast Express services that operated a few years back.

It's great to see someone else making use of the TPO system I made. When it comes to GER express locos a T19 or Petrolea type single would be relatively straightforward as a conversion from the T26. They are on the list of potential future projects. The GER loco I'd really like to model though is a P43. If anyone knows where decent drawings can be found I'd be interested to hear. I've only been able to find side views of it. Something with end and plan views would be useable, but the ideal thing would be a works GA type drawing showing the inside motion in side and plan views.

They do. Here's a demonstration using my Highland Jones TPO model.

Just for Annie... The models actually much older than 2 years. I made it back in the days of Trainz 2009, before I had got into proper content creation. I released it much later after someone spotted it in a screenshot asked for it.
