I recently got this & it puts everything else i own to shame it is in a league of its own in my eyes & captures the feel of the end of steam. All it needs now is dcc sound & a crew, its a hornby model with no alterations but i think that this work makes it stand out & look like a workhorse rather than a toy.

I think i will be returning alote of my other models to be brought to this standard

I wouldnt be touching limited editions i have a falcon & i would not touch that at all. I want Oliver Cromwell NRM limited edition but that would be going in the cabinet & not touched.

Deffo a dirty critter but i need my locos to look like this it shows what a difference a good weathering job can do to a factory standard model with no alterations. Next model to go i think will be my bachmann jubilee ''Hong Kong'' for a renumber rename & crest change to 45694 Bellerophon which was a local engine.
