I would agree...the Battle of Britain-Class Pacifics were beautiful locomotives.

American Flyer Prewar O gauge and postwar S gauge version was called the Royal Blue. Not exact copies but that is what they used. The Firefly is very close to the same engine.

There are models that have been made in HO, not sure about O gauge

The Royal Blue actually ran on the B&O; it's another favorite of mine.
