Eddy has provided us with the second sample. This is just a sample, and the detail variants will follow later (such as the F5 cab, chimney variants etc), but I hope you would all agree it does look very smart.

The First Artwork
The Holden F5 Steam Locomotive Trust's very talented artist Eddy Dodwell has accepted the task of creating the artwork that will show what each model would look like in terms of livery and detail.
He has provided his "master" copy here, demonstrating GER 789 in Prussian Blue. It is the first copy, and there will be some modifications to make on this and future ones, but this should hopefully give a rough idea of what we are trying to achieve.
A belated Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes for the new year too.

Coaching Stock
One point that is made several times on the survey is the lack of suitable coaching stock, including a GER Push-Pull set.
This has crossed my mind a few times whilst researching. Whilst there are images of these locos with LNER compartment stock and the standard Gresley corridor stock (both as made by Hornby), it would seem that an accompanying coach pack might be worthwhile investigating also.
My priority currently lies with the F5 loco; however I will say I hope to look into relevant coaching stock soon. If anyone can point me in the direction of correct drawings or information about what was used for push-pull services with these locos, it would be of great assistance. Please drop me an e-mail here if you have such information.
