I'm very envious that you've not only seen her in steam, but like this too

'Tis a thing of beauty, my favourite train. You've captured her well. Are your drawings to scale?

They are to scale, though what the scale is, I can't remember :')

Excellent. I'm planning how to make wooden toy versions of the Mallard (possibly other A4s as well, but the cover of Blur's Modern Life is Rubbish isn't a great design for nothing) so this is very helpful.

When did Mallard look like that in the above illustration? I know Sir Nigel Gresley looked like that in overhaul.

Why is the whistle just in front of the smokestack?

Why? Because the Mallard was built that way, of course.

Not often what you get to see behind the skin of these machines, let alone any other streamliner, exemplary work! ^_^
