Hi Guys This could be a very long term project, I have managed to get the base of the model and the animation done. I now need to work on the main body of the loco, once I get that sorted I will begin to do the tender Rae xxxxx

I guess Boots wanted to see a photo of this type of locomotive, how it actually looks... Maybe there will be some photos of this locomotive on the Internet, just insert the link.

If you want to create a locomotive model according to your imagination, because it will make you happy, I have no objections, it is your decision... I'm just worried that the fantasy model probably won't interest other fans.
The model of a real locomotive is better, there are very few steam locomotives in RTR...

Hi Starfighter No need to worry ,the model will be built as a typical heavy haulage locomotive that might have been built by British Railways I am using the 8F and 9F as a template but not as a exact copy

STARFIGHTER Br Class 8F looks like this. Google pix are very useful. Instead of writing a lot, use the net. - Boots127

Hi, Boots! I'm sorry, but I'm not an expert on steam locomotives, just a fan. I really don't know all the technical abbreviations, including 8F and 9F, and Google shows many links to various things that may be called 8F. Finding the right link is time consuming, it's easier to ask for information here!

I searched for swedish steamers a couple of years ago, some of them had names like E1,E2 a.s.o. So I supposed that it's the same in UK, (1+1=2) quite easy!
Swedish electric engines are named Ra,Rb,Rc,Rd,Re..... Diesels are named T1,T2,T3,T4. An upgraded T4 is called Td. I have not checked why, not interresting. - Boots127

I have not checked why, not interresting. - Boots127 It is very likely that each country has its own system of marks, numbers and abbreviations that are different from those in other countries. For example, in Czechoslovakia, Vojtěch Kryšpín, the chief designer of the ČKD locomotive department, designed the marking system. This designation was gradually introduced from 1921, in 1925 all ČSD locomotives and even locomotives of some private railways were marked with it. Kryšpín's designation was used until January 1, 1988, when it was replaced by a new system established by the International Union of Railways (UIC) by its decree and is valid for all its members. It assigns a unique twelve-digit number to each railway vehicle (freight, passenger and traction) by which the vehicle is identified in service. The twelve-digit number is the so-called 'speaking' - it serves not only to identify the vehicle, but is also divided into groups of digits that carry a coded meaning. The system established by the UIC was adopted as the identification of railway vehicles in service in the European Union by a decision of the European Commission, first by issuing a decision of 2006, the so-called TSI - Traffic Operation and Management, which fully entered into force in the European Union in 2010. This was replaced in 2012 by a new edition (already common for both conventional and high-speed systems), which brings the issue to the vehicle register issue addressed by other TSIs in the form of a change (omitting some non-identification provisions, in particular letter series). The 12-digit number is called the European Vehicle Number (EVN) in TSI (2012) terminology.
