An ugly brute of an engine,
A4 is not much better so when can we expect a decent GW version make over?

One problem with that statement, you can't put 'gw' and 'decent' in the same sentance

I personally think the duchess looks quite nice, I think a trip to york is on the cards!!

I think you have the wrong end of my stick,
Perhaps I did not write it correctly but by 'decent' I meant an accurate representation of the bulbous nose that was fitted, perhaps they should have named a loco Cyrano (sp ?) especially for the attachment. Actually I have only a little real interest in most of these big lumps of perambulating iron.
Much prefer the RHDR or smaller less glamorous locos with no more that 6 wheels or maybe 10 if an Atlantic.
Heracy lives on!!!!!
