Nice to meet y'all and thank you for letting me be part of this group. My name is Nicholas and I come from Southern California.
I do a form of modelling called sprites, which are 2D side images of things like railway locomotives, made out of pixels to a 1.*86 pixel-per-inch scale, which is approximately 10 pixels per foot. Sprites like the classic 2D video games from the days before CGI and 3D animation, like Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog.
I usually model British or American prototypes or engines out of the Railway Series and the Rev. W. Awdry's original visions. I sought out SAR 1E's for a project I was working on to create a custom Metropolitan-Vickers electric locomotive for the Peel Godred Branch, built circa late 1920's.
The plan is to use the chassis of the Metropolitan Railway "MetroVick" Bo-Bo locomotives, and then perhaps implement a SAR 1E body on top. The Peel Godred Branch was built in 1923 to light railway specifications, so the electrics would need to be small but powerful enough to handle at least four or five North Eastern Railway-pattern alumina hoppers to and from the works. If there's any more resources that might be available for the 1E's, I'd appreciate it if any could be sent my way!
