So some decals arrived today! (After a month >:/ )
So the first Engines to bear the GSR lettering have had it added!
Firstly, the Sentinel Class (of my own design)
This is Willan Hill, the class leader of the Sentinel Class. Built by FAFO Engineering works on Galant Island in 1936. After some trials on his home island, he was sent to Scotland and (in my RWS AU) Sodor for 4 years both to trial his design on different terrain and also to basically 'get a read on' the UK railway network's infrastructure & culture.
Upon his return, 29 more of his class were built, the first 10 of which were sent to a friend's railway, the KSSR as a gift. These 10 were named after the local deities, bar the first, who had II added to the end, seeing as there already was a locomotive bearing that name on the island.
Of the 19 remaining, every even number were built with larger bogie tenders, while the uneven were built with the same tender as Willan.
I do actually plan to build a 7 1/4" gauge model of the Sentinel Class, but that will probably be a different member of the class.
