RE: Model Steam Railways - 6

I know it's a 4-6-4 Pacific.

Wiki has this:
"6256 was built in 1947 at Crewe Works. 6256 was named after the former LMS Chief Mechanical Engineer, Sir William Stanier, who had introduced the "Duchess" class ten years earlier. It was the penultimate "Duchess" and the last LMS-built pacific. 6256, along with the last Stanier pacific, 46257 City of Salford (which appeared after nationalisation in 1948) were built with several modifications to the original Stanier design, by George Ivatt.
6256 was initially painted in LMS 1946 black livery.
After nationalisation in 1948, BR renumbered the locomotive to 46256. It was later painted BR Brunswick green, and later BR maroon. 46256 was withdrawn in 1964, the last Stanier pacific to be withdrawn. It was scrapped at Cashmore's, Great Bridge."

So what's a Semi?

Volty the original few of these built were Streamlined. The rest of them were partly (or Semi) Streamlined. That's how they came to be known As Semi's.

I have a rebuilt Clan Line without the air smoothing.

I saw Clan Line along with many Merchant Navy's, Battle of Britain etc on a school trip around the Southern region. We visited around ten sheds and saw many. It was a hell of a day.

It was never really Southern Region. Read the website I linked to.
It pulled a whole range of trains, they can't all have been green.

I can easily justify it on my 1960 GWR, it was BR and just visiting.

This is rather a large model railway

When I saw the airport I thought this is more a model of the world than a railway layout. Then I saw the moving vehicles and thought it was a real airport.
Turns out to be a multinational world model, the multinational, multi era train set is only a small part of it.

It must have taken a lot of people years to build years to build and wire.

Mine came with Pullmans

Nice Loco. The only reason I wouldn't get one is because I really don't want to start collecting Green Coaches.

Do you mean Streamlining.?

Probably, I'm sure I have read both descriptions.
