2 1/2" Gauge GNR(I) Class V No. 83 EAGLE first coal fired steam test run.

43 Years after I started the loco, I finished it - Ok, there were many other model engineering projects in between, but I had to get this one done since the colour scheme is just gorgeous. I am pleased I did the lining, though it took a while to design it and there are flaws, but they do not detract from the overall effect.
It's a pity the designer, Martin Evans did not do a better job with the frame dimensions. The rear axle should be further aft - these Class V locos had the longest coupling rods in the world for a while.
