Description
Okay, so now that you've seen my WS1 Single, here is a much more mundane locomotive class - the WS2 six-coupled goods engine of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway. These engines were built in 1870, as were most of the early WSR locomotives, and although designated goods engines, they were a popular choice for holiday excursions and light passenger turns. All 20 of the class still operate to this day, one of the most travelled members being the one I myself have modelled: No. 47 Vixen, the third-youngest of the class.
The construction of this locomotive was the polar opposite of India, a conversion of a Lima 4F with a completely scratchbuilt tender. Her firebox had to be reshaped from the 4F's inherent Belpaire pattern, whilst her dome and funnel needed to be extended to the limits of the loading gauge, and her cab needed to be rebuilt to a more old-fashioned pattern. Her tender is based on the LMS Fowler type, but runs on a Lima 33 bogie. Outwardly, Vixen resembles the LNWR Webb 17-Inch Coal Engines of three years later, and appropriately wears a matching livery.

So what's Vixen like? I'm asking because you didn't describe her personality.
