BR Black F7A

Description
(Requested by power man. I can't apologize enough for how long I took to get around to making this).

(The number carried by this re-skin is that of a real F7A locomotive; specifically Wabash Railroad No. 1189)

Here's a U.K. livery for the F7A and F7B, something I don't think I've done before. British Railways was the state-owned company that ran the rail system in England, Wales and Scotland from 1948 to 1997. After the retirement of steam locomotives in 1968, they simply called themselves British Rail. And then Ronnie Barker came along to take the mickey out of BR.

This re-skin is based on the basic black livery worn by the Class 08 shunters in their early years, so sometime in the late 1950's. The experimental diesel shunter 11001 also carried this livery. Incidentally 11001 served as the basis for two Thomas the Tank Engine characters; Dennis and Norman.

Raider Boss, do you mean an NR in British Railways black? If so, I'd be happy to make that livery. As for power man, I've had the green F7A on my list of liveries to make for quite a while, and I'll be getting round to that within the next week.
