Description For my 900th deviation, it's model #65, Neil the S&M box tank! He arrives at Crovan's Gate to pick up Skarloey after he's had his cab fitted so Neil can take Skarloey to the Skarloey Railway. In the background, Emily is picking up passengers. In my own Railway Series, Emily was a S&M engine, lost for over 60 years until found again by Henry.

Next model will be - you guessed it - NER's no. 66 Aerolite!

Splendid work on Neil and the flatbed Skarloey is on.

This picture kinda reminds me of one of the "Very Old Engines" shots.

Nice work on Neil. I'm writing some stories of the S&M Railway.

Cool. Keep your eyes peeled for the first story!

I also like how you used Emily as an S&M Engine, but to me I would've just kept Neil, and No. 1 and 3.

I'll make sure of that.

Why I used Emily was because I thought; Who replaced the box tanks after they were scrapped?

Well the box tanks weren't scrapped until the North Western Railway was finally built.

Also, did you use scale plans for Neil? He looks alot like his prototype. Except it has a teeny problem: The gold thing on Neil's back just goes straight up, not like how you made it.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I must be misreading.

Yes, I used pictures as a guide. I guess the gold thing's kinda crooked...
