I have to chime in too-- absolutely delicious models! The blend of form, fit and function is very believable and comfortable. Nothing is overdone but they have a lot of texture. Thanks for sharing with us.

I still need to do the bottom of the engine and transmission. I added the gas tank, headlight, starting mechanism  and painted all the parts.

I really like your "Red X Mining" color scheme.

Thanks guys for your comments. I got the under body finished and repainted some of the parts.  Working on the Fordson power plant for loco #1 and the base for the repair shed diorama.

Fantastic work! That underbody detail looks so good, you'd swear it could run.

I love your style, Gordon!
It is always possible to spot a Birrell original from miles away.

And the monorail is a refreshingly original prototype. It must be quite staisfactory to have models of prototypes that possibly no other person in the world have modeled?

Very well done Gordon! Mr. Wright would be proud. The dio should be awesome! (so would a turntable!)
