It's true, I can't help but love the underdog. My Daily driver is the worlds least loved Porsche (the 924), my fun weekend car is the car that had a terrible reputation for killing people during oversteer moments (Triumph GT6), and if I was a fan of football I'd almost certainly be following Accrington Stanley or somesuch.
Which brings me on to my live steam interest; does anyone know if anyone has ever modelled any of the Austerity locomotives? I'm sure the Hunslet 0-6-0 has been copied, but what about the WD Austerity 2-8-0? And more importantly, the ultimate ugly duckling, the SR Q1 class?
I'm cutting my teeth on a Stuart 10H, but one day once I've refined some skills I'd love to tackle a Q1. I realise its a shape that would make kids run screaming but I'm smitten with anything that has function over form.
Has anyone had a crack at one of these?
Thanks, Jon.
