Hi Mike ( @impinabox )

Thank you for the photos - the Class 40 looks great.

Might be time to make a wee investment... 

Kind regards

The Class 40 is one of those locos that's so ugly it's almost cute...

Gasp! How very dare you!

Oh dear... hornets nest approaching!  C'mon guys, compared with real 'looker' like below, the class 40 is no beauty!

Okay, you made me do it, time to wheel out the big guns...

...you want a 'looker'...

Hmm... apologies for stretching the topic a bit here... but comparing a Black 5 with an A4 Pacific???

I do beg its pardon - but Black Stanier / Red Stanier - both old kettles compared to the blue A4.      But as I was saying, I'm enjoying my big ugly class 40 at the mo.

Ah yes, the A4, so named as that's all the paper they needed to design it, explains a lot.

According to legend, at least one plasticine model was needed as well 

Enjoying all the Class 40s, impressive beasts to me in both model form and reality

A nice surprise from Mr postman this morning.

Looks nice @Ensign Elliott - fits in well there.

May I ask, are those point control wires (sorry, don't know the technical term) homemade or a kit?
