I very much like your pics of the Furness peninsular, Barrow in Furness and Barrow Island, they're very reminiscent of the time I lived in Barrow when employed by VSEL in the shipyard there in the mid 1980's through to the late 1990's. Great looking route, I do hope you make it available someday.

Thank you! I hope so too, though I will be busy with uni soon so might not have as much time to work on it. It's going very slowly already :)
 
You're doing an excellent job with it so far! I must admit I don't know too much about the Furness beyond the Pre-Grouping locomotive classes, but I am familiar with the shed allocations during the 1950s. There were Johnson 2Fs, Fowler 4Fs, Ivatt Class 2 and 4s and a LOT of Jintys!


Our resident modeler Jupiter made a nice selection of lesser-known BR/LMS Locos allocated at 11B a shot while ago. They should be perfect for your Furness Route! GP Locomotives also did really good renditions of both the Stanier 4P Tank and the Stanier Black Five - two extremely numerous classes at Furness.
 
The spec by 2995 works wonders. 60mph in both cab and dcc. Soon i'll get her a new whistle and get her working like an actual tender loco (the loco oddly has coal and water with it for loads, and feeds off of that, not the tender).
Speaking of whistle, you can use my whistle for them if you're genuinely interested

Thank you very much, that's certainly useful information to know! Jupiter's models are very nice indeed.
