Sounds like an interesting challenge.  I believe there are HO-scale (1/87) kits of the "Big Boy" class locomotives (I know they offered it at least in both Union Pacific and Deluth, Mesabi, & Iron Range markings) available from Revell as well as a German steam locomotive.  Beyond that, I'm not sure of what else is available.

Those last two are beautiful.  To go with them, how about a de-mil'd Spitfire Mk.21 with contra-props and the windscreen and canopy from the "Speed Spitfire" of just before WW II?  It could be in the markings of an English club

Age of BTS jet bi-plane has arrived.  Only few of them around.  You are a master at this engineering discipline.
Seeing a high[er] altitude Sabre.  Great build, surprised how well it works.

A shame Airfix does not make the leap and offer up an F-86H in 72nd and 48th scale. 

Great work on the Sabre Brian.  I was expecting to a set of Speedy-Spats™ :)

Thanks guys. I looked up the decal sheets and they are 1/32 Airscale individual instrument panel decals from Sprue Bros.

I tried the acetone vapor smoothing on the duct and it sagged a bit and split open - it was like jello.I expected something like this since the walls were about 0.4mm thick. I reprinted it with thicker walls and will try again.

CGI art is getting that much closer to being indistinguishable from a real photo.
