What do you guys think???

Been inspired by Alans livery poll and thought id do my own for my upgraded Mamod loco County Of Somerset 'COS' for short.

Not a drastic change like Alans poll but i want to know what you think. Between a black dome or a brass one. But anyway...

...did these on Paint this morning along with my new avatar.

Total=0.99999999999999999999999999999914

85% should have been rounded up to 86%.

It must be brass! But Mamod are externally fired so it'll go all black and burnt looking in no time - a nice compromise!

Whats the idea with the grey/black colour scheme, it looks a lot like those factory photos the loco builders took of their locos to help show off all the details to prospective buyers.

I do like the open back cab and canopy too.

A classy looking engine need a classy looking dome. Brass only adds to it.
