Hi, Rae!
I guess it's just a platform, because I don't know any six-wheel steam locomotive... But maybe I'm wrong...

Hi Boots
The loco is painted in British Railways “Doncaster Green” I may do a extra x file with the loco painted in L N E R Apple Green with L N E R logo,s.
But that’s a long way off ,I need to sort out the lights, smoke and sounds first .
If you bear with me I will show you the difference between the two shades of green

Hi Starfighter
There where loads of 2 12 O locos built but they were mainly built and used in Europe ,There we’re also some 2 12 2 locos built
I think the biggest loco that was built in the uk was the 9F which was a 2 10 0 ,I believe that a 10F 2 12 0 was designed but never built

It's a real beauty. - Boots127  |

Hi Again Boots
I think we are going in different directions, lets see if I can clear up a few points for you, The Evening Star loco 92220 was the last loco built by British Railways and was painted in British Railway colors
British Railways Doncaster Green ( the same as your photo )
The loco is owned by The National Railway Museum at York and is often hired to different preserved railways around the U K, The G C R (Great Central Railway) being one of them.
Before British Railways existed, all the UK railways were owned and operated by 4 companies. London North Eastern Railways (L N E R) London Midland Scottish (L M S ) Southern Railways( S R )
and the Great Western Railway ( G W R ) In 1962 these 4 companies were merged together to form 1 company called British Railways, most of the locos were repainted in the new British Railway colour of Doncaster Green.
However, at the end of the steam era, some private companies were formed to save some of the steam locos from the scrap heap, these companies bought large disused sections of track so they could run their privately owned locos and rolling stock, G C R was one of those companies
Some of the Preserved Railway companies began to restore there locomotives to their original livery, if they were going to restore an old locomotive and it was originally a L N E R Loco, then it would be painted in its original livery of Apple Green

Thanx Rae, for information. They made the same in Sweden. The state bought up all small companies,
that had problem with reduced passengers in the 50-60'ies (because of cars), with the swedish state
railway co 'SJ'. It became the largest co. But since 1990 some private companies has started new
traffic, mostley cargo. So I've been painting some of them & more is coming. - Boots127
PS. Many old swedish steamers where sold in the 60-80'ies to other countries. That was a shame!
Steamers are very useful in wars for ex. DS.
