Having decided that life is far too short be be spending it all on converting RTR stock to EM, I’ve reverted to ‘narrow’ gauge and have experienced an immediate mojo surge!
This has meant tackling lots of projects waiting in the queue for up to seven years!
Anyway, I have a dismembered Hornby Britannia that has been hanging around the workshop in a forlorn state since 2012, having donated its tender to a backdated Duke of Gloucester in earlier times. I’ve spent a couple of days giving the loco some overdue TLC and some replacement parts. The most glaring fault on Hornby’s otherwise superb representation is the absolutely rotten chimney so I’ve replaced this with a 247 Developments casting.
Additionally, the model is receiving LMS cast buffers, a new Comet tender body and Jackson Evans smoke deflectors.
Ultimately, the model is set to become 70049 Solway Firth as in her latter, Kingmoor-based days.
It should make for an interesting weathering project.
