Before I get lots of upset LNER fans, I know the real loco class.
I am about to embark on a new project, I have on order the body shell for a B17/5 ready to convert a rtr loco into this rarely seen loco (I never have)
My plan is to have it to run on Milldale when I take it out for its public debut next September at the Boston Show, to run with mine & Andii's extensive LNER stud.
I wanted as many different things to keep the punters engaged in viewing my layout as long as possible, and as most people you hear refer to the A4 as a 'Mallard' class, I decided to do a 'Mini Malllard'
Now this is a project which has taken along time to get off the drawing board, but with the help from others out there, Dean Siding has been tracked down and I can move on with speed.
I was going to convert a Hornby B17 but have decided that I would prefer loco drive, and as Thompsons' B1 was all but the same with smaller drives, I am going to use a Bachmann B1 and shoe-horn it in.
The names are rather limited as only two locos where streamlined, I will go with East Anglian. It will be in Doncaster Green.
Now this is where I could do with your help, I need some colour photos if anyone has please. All I can find is B & W
I will post pics once work has started
