That's how it started for me. "There's a picture here of a loco in GC livery in 1926, let's model that" "Oh heck. It looks really nice."

QuoteAlso, I can't help but notice you've got a set in a pre-grouping livery... is that the start of back-dating Dukeswood?

If you want some of these, well the shop might have some cancellations, or the tooling might turn up somewhere. Unfortunately the retailer that commissioned them folded early this year, so they're going to be fairly rare on the open market for the moment.
