This project is an exploration of the inspiration and evolution of Gresley's Pacific locomotives. It uses highly detailed digital models to provide a configurable basis from which different variations of the locomotive can be rendered and placed in various authentic settings. The project is currently a work in progress.
The renders below capture the basic model which will be later rendered in period settings.
