Yes I thought the same thing, The bent axle to clear the centre connecting rod and the operation of the conjugated valve gear makes you realise the brilliant engineers we had to make it all work.
@@vsvnrg3263 There are people who think it enhanced their looks fitting into the Spirits sleek look, but equally there are people that believe the unstreamled S class was a better looking locomotive.
fascinating watching the valve gear and motion gear. thats a well made model.

I do have a dream to see it built again
This is truly rare footage, because you can't find SOP filming on UA-cam, let alone almost 25 minutes of it
Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed it.
I had no idea there was footage of the semi streamlined S class, let alone colour footage!
I had never seen the footage of it coming out of Newport Workshops with two four wheeled bogies under the tender. Glad you enjoyed it.
i think the 'streamlining' makes it less attractive.

Where was the film of the S class model, number and name plates and SoP mural taken?
I suspect it was at the Seymour Rail Heritage Centre.
