Description My god... How did I even... Well, it seems I've stunned myself with what I've created right here, truly at a loss for words for what I've done here, an angle I've barely been able to do, shading, and all, and these are two of my favorite engines, together hopefully like they will be in the near future You are already familiar with DSB 656, but I've yet to introduce you to the lesser known of the two engines the Swedish S class, no. 1178, like 656, this engine is too special, as he was one of the first engines to help run the first of Nene Valley's public trains, and get Nene Valley firmly put on the map, I feel for that reason, it deserves the overhaul it's recieving, sadly due to lack of man power and money, it's been listed as a "Long term project until further notice" Well, at least until 656 is back in steam I suppose, and theres room in the workshop I know for a fact that once the overhaul is complete, 1178 will be over 100 years old (Hence his elderly looking face) But I may send this pic to Nene Valley one day and see if they would like to start selling it as part to help raise funds for these two engines, it may not be much, but hey Donations and money are donations and money.

One day, I'd like to see these engines side by side and see Nene Valley take back the title of being an international railway once again

righto thats it from me this evening. Take care all.

I'll have to go to the Nene Valley someday and see these marvellous engines at work. Fantastic drawing by the way.

You'll see one of them. You'll be in your late 30's by the time you see the other in steam

If that's 1178 on the right he can't be of the same class as 565, he's just to big.

MrJoj In reply to gh22 [2012-12-21 16:09:08 +0000 UTC]

I never said he was the same class as 656 8[ In fact they're completely separate country/designs

Very nice work, like it's good to have some Scandinavians on the Railway modified for British Traffic

MrJoj In reply to BorisFedorov [2012-12-21 23:42:30 +0000 UTC]

The thing is, they're not modified, just the entire route around them Thats the berne gauge for ya

Cool, like I though that Continental Standard Gauge engines would be too wide for British Rail

You'd take the cylinders off any other engine if you ran it through a conventional UK station :U

another brilliant locomotive artwork Trainboy656, I must admit seeing this makes me want to go to the Nene Vally railway even more, plus the 2 locomotives look sublimely drawn, detailed and colored and the added shading makes it even more realistic, I feel like I can just walk between the 2 locomotives by looking at this. brilliant work well done

I always enjoy seeing locomotives from other countries in drawings such as this. I think the people at Nene Valley would enjoy this very much.
