    Hi Neil,

    AN interesting selection.
    12/45 21C119 is at Dover Marine, not Victoria. No 3rd rail and the footbridge is the same as image 34/45.

    Cheers, Neil

    Don't know why this "Leader" machine you speak of is the only Bullied Pacific thing to be considered Ugly, I think all of his Pacifics were ugly, as well unnecessary and a complete waste of metal.

    He really hit the nail on the bonce when he built the Q1's and his quite sturdy coaches, honestly such a talented man wasted on some hyped-up passenger engine.
