Nice review and loco Doug, very informative.

Continental locos as a rule don't have painted cabs, even Brawa ones however I suspect Micro Metakit may well do.

It's amazing where locos from the North British works turn up. I used to travel a lot and in many countries they would have an old steam loco out the front of the main station. I used to always check these to see if they were Scottish built and a lot of them were. I have seen locos here in Melbourne from the North British works. Including this R class below; you can see the badge on the smoke defelctor.

Theres a really interesting DVD you may be interested in which shows the manufacture of a loco, an SAR 19D as it happens, at the North British works. It's amazing how these were put together and shipped.

Very good Doug. Sound makes all the difference. Still a very nice loco.

How do you get a three minute clip? I found with Photobucket I was limited to 1:20 minutes due to the Mblimit.

QUOTE (Doug @ 11 Oct 2008, 09:10) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>DailyMotion limits uploads to 20 minutes or 150MB whatever comes first. Size depends on the quality that you render the video. I render at high-resolution DVD quality so one day I may just stick it on a DVD. This clip comes out at about 67MB at 1280x720 25fps resolution. Of course the hosting service compresses it further to put it into Flash.
Maybe I should look at dailymotion as their allowance is greater.
