I'm looking to start working on my second BR50 soon. This one is going to be DRG black with red frames.
The model is the Fleischmann 7175 loco with the cabin tender, Witte deflectors and cropped foot plate . As I'm modelling pre '45, and the cabin tender didn't come into use until after the war, that will need changing. However, I'm struggling to charify whether the loco should be fitted with smoke defectors. Would it be accurate to retain the Witte defectors...?
