Beautiful! Not just the loco and the way it was filmed; that driver person scared the s*** out of me at 1'28"....

Giles, do you have any idea of the number of hours you have put in on this one?


Perhaps it is too scary to contemplate?

Hi Philip - perhaps around 400 hours? I must say it's not something I ever consider keeping track of! There's a fair amount of computer time drawing and redrawing - the value of which is that the data is captured and in theory can be reused and repurposed.
