I like the Southern one! Looks amazing with the smoke deflectors!

Plenty of steam effects!
But it can't be a Nelson! It's not got a 4P instead of a tender
Talking of power rating, i hadn't realised the Nelsons were 7P! That's impressive for such a compact machine!

Yes, they were 4 cylinder machines like a lot of the GWR locomotives were, such as the King and Castle, and the Royal Scots were also 7P machines, despite them having one less cylinder. It may be down to how it uses the steam it produces, thermal efficiency, cylinder size, number of cylinders and all that stuff.

All that stuff I'm still trying to get my head around.. maybe someday!
Don't forget the modified Jubilees, Phoenix and Comet, which were also 7P
