Took me a while to release that the Blue 101 also does green.

Hi PaulWhile I'm on, I do recall rumour that you were considering an upgrade/rebuild of your Cravens class 105. Jut wondering if you feel inspired by dundun's new class 101 to return to that project at all? It would be great to have these units side by side!
Paul
Thanks all for the kind comments on my screenshots.
Hi Paul
Yes, I've been quietly reworking the 105 and the meshes are just about there- although dundun92 has set the bar pretty high for new DMU models and mine is unlikely to have as many toys/features. At the moment, it's in a queue behind a couple of other projects so no promises on timeline.

Also, while I'm on - I was on the White Rose railtour from London KX to York the other week and this inspired me to recreate the consist led by 35018 British India Line. Not strictly 'pre-BR blue', but I never thought I'd get any use out of those (niche) Mk1 coaches in West Coast Railways maroon livery!

#6411 a lovely set of shots there Annie, Paul's Manor looks great in 22 indeed, and very smart in BR mixed traffic black.
I've always liked how huge a Manor's cylinders look compared their modest boiler.
Admiring the marvellous BR Class 101:

Good morning everyone, I hope you're all having a nice weekend.
The late Burton to Leicester afternoon service accelerates out of Moira trying to make up time and a couple walking their dog stop to take in the sights and sounds. Viewed from the now closed Briton Earthenware Works.

Sadly in a few years the line won't see scheduled passenger services as Beeching's axe takes a swipe. Fortunately the line remains and is occasionally used for aggregate trains even today.
It certainly makes a great deal of difference, and I also have a huge works list which gets longer faster than the jobs get done.
Cheers,
George
