Description
One for as this is my favourite of all the S160s. No.5820 lives over the Pennines on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Returned 2 years ago after a huge overhaul, the engine now flies the flag for America, representing his class in a resplendent livery of Wartime Grey. I saw Big Jim double head with his shed mate, another Wartime veteran, the WD Riddles 2-8-0. Unfortunately, my camera broke, but Big Jim on his own is better than any.

One of my favorite american built locomotive. A true war vetern this engine was. I wander if someone could create a story about Rosie meeting Big Jim since they both wore liveries that looked liberating and not related to BR or the WD.

Well i think that would be an interesting and easy story to write. I think the real task would be writing about what Big Jim got up to in Europe/Middle East and how he was saved by the KWVR.

Do you like American locomotives as well as British locomotives?

Will you make that into a special episode? Or will you save that idea later for a future volume like Engines of Valor?

Maybe for another volume, but that's a long way off I think at the moment.

I understand. Let me guess, working on a new Jimmy the Jinty episode, or different?

Ah. It's a good thing to escape from boredom. I too have been busy on requests here for other fellow deviants. Mostly their original characters.

I've seen them, they are very impressive and ones to admire time and time again.

I agree. He stands out from the rest and he looks so smart too.

Being different is always a good thing in my opinion, when it comes to locomotives at least.

He definitely is different! Big Jim was painted BR black before this. A what might have been livery, if he had been kept on, instead of being sent to Europe. He was renumbered 95820 with a BR lion. No one had done that before

BR Black would look great on him! It certainly would've been cool to see in the BR days of steam.
