Huh, nearly finished, all I need now is stickers!!!!

To the engine
The 14xx class engines were built between 1932 and 1936 by the Great Western Railways (GWR) and replaced an outdated class. In 1948 three major railway companies and the GWR fused to form the British Railways (BR) which kept the engines in service. The last engine was withdrawn from service in 1959.

I worked hard to get to the result I got - not only did I need patience to get all the parts but I had to find a solution to overcome the not available part 6222 in dark green (the 4x4 round part with hole for the dome). I found a solution with Star Wars set 7930 which had dark green stickers that covered the needed piece nearly perfectly. That way everything is 100% Lego but and the colour isn't too far off.

The engine negotiates curves perfectly, I just needed to change the pivot point of the magnetic coupling so it can be pushed from a motor behind.
