The display stand looks great Keith.
How about something a little more sleek and towards the later part of the steam engine like one of the following
1 Flying Scotsman

2 Mallard

3 Battle of Britain class loco

OK I'll get my coat Keith you would probably need to extend the display stand.

Thankyou Derek,
All great suggestions - isn't the Flying Scotsman a beautiful locomotive. Remembering you were the person who suggested the Lion (which I am grateful).
I should have a decision today. Up to the Railway Museum and will take heaps of photos so I can draw up plans (if I find a loco I am besotted with)
I do have a HO scale electric model of the Flying Scotsman but not heaps of detail on it - but could probably get something off it.
Thanks
Speak soon
Keith

Thankyou so much to everyone who posted their suggestions and the interest shown on what locomotive I should be building next. Went up to Newport Railway Museum and I fell "in love" with a locomotive that was just inside the gate.
A decision has now been made.
It is a 4-6-2 tank locomotive that was built in 1910. It ran as a suburban passenger locomotive on the steeper grades around Melbourne. It was the last of it's class in service and was withdrawn in 1960 with 998,809 miles travelled.
I have taken well over 250 photos and taken measurements and sketches, much to the amazement of others who were at the museum. Lots of photos of the controls in the cabin as well.
Next step - go through all photos and then draw up and start up a new thread.
Again, thanks to all who suggested and showed interest,
Regards
Keith

Thanks Derek
A couple more photos. Got heaps of photos - particularly in cabin and the piston gear. Can go to great amount of detail in this locomotive build. Really looking forward to it. Will sort photos tomorrow and decide scale.
Regards
Keith

Good Choice
Good Choice. The DDE class, the tank version of the DD class which includes the D3 class.
Look forward to watching the build.
