Very nice. I've noticed, and I don't mean this in any way disrespectful or insulting but, many of the steam locomotives from the UK have kind of a Thomas the train toyish look about them. They look more simplified than many of the beasts built by Baldwin back in the day. I guess it's just a case of refinement and what I consider, a good use of colors.

It's true in a way the old British Rail Locos tended to have their plumbing enclosed in an effort to create a streamline effect.
In fact, my local steam preservation group has an actual Thomas the Tank engine running along the track regularly.
