That is a very pretty locomotive (without meaning to be rude). Something about the proportions and the colour. And what is 'Corrie'?🤔😅

I believe it's what aficianados of Coronation Street (a UK Soap Opera) use to refer to the programme

But not being one, I don't know for sure....

How good does that look? Gorgeous!

I can't help but feel it should visit the Isle of Man for testing. Or Chama. Or Durango.

What a lovely loco!

Maybe you could 3D print them a couple of your 6 wheel carriages to go with it Rik?

I think, if I redrew the parts to 12 in : 1 ft scale, they wouldn't fit on my printer ..... :?
