  Beuty is very much in the eye of the Beholder!

 

But i have heard some say the Midland Spinner: http://train-photos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/8227.jpg

However, above the underframe I think the Dean Achills (Lord of the Isles) in original form is better with only the outside framed front bogie letting it down: https://earlyrailwaysunpublished.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/3003-avalanche.jpg

But that assumes you lke the larhe chimney/big dome type locos!

By the way, I have a super car the new Jaguar XE R Sport in dark blue.

Hi Vespa

 

 Vanguard, or Oxford Die-cast    (lol)  😆

 

I had you in mind for the Britannia. To me, although I really like the Duchess, it's not really a beauty - it's too bulky for that. It's a bruiser!!!

For me, the streamlined 'Duchesses' really fit the bill.  I was brought up on BR (WR) stock, but  for style, the NRM streamliner exhibit is the bees knees.  One day, I might get to see it in the metal!  In the meantime, the Hornby model will do, thank you very much

Not into Steam myself, but I do rather fancy the USA Steam Streamliners.......something like this for example.

Hey Chris don't give the credit for that loco to the Yanks, its an Aussie 5ft 3in Gauge Victorian Railways S Class loco that was used to pull the Spirit of Progress train between Albury NSW and Melbourne Victoria
