6229 streamlining

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

I dont know, those streamlined jobbies, while they look really impressive just dont do anything for me? I like seeing all the bits and pieces. How much of a difference does streamlining have on the speed of the loco? Marginal or massive?
Not quite on the rails.

I agree streamlining is a bit of an acquired taste but you got to take your hat off to the workmanship. All them compound curves must have been a nightmare to reproduce.
