I bought this at the Doncaster show in either 1999 or 2000 - I'm not sure which, but it was soon after it came out. It's very much been at the back of the 'to do' pile ever since, and Bachmann have even bought out an RTR version in the meantime.
Brief details of the build;
- DC Kits plastic kit - I used the plastic mouldings but ditched the detailing components as they weren't up to the standard I was after.
- Black beetle motor bogie.
- Underframe detail is a mix of Southern Pride, NNK and scratchbuilt. These units had 1951 type control gear, which isn't covered by the Southern Pride plastic underframe kit.
- Roof detail from guitar wire and SP turned lamp tops.
- End jumpers from MJT.
- NNK etched window frames.
Since I don't have a layout at the moment, here's a couple of photos of it on my hi-tech photo display stand (which happens to look a bit like an ironing board).
Overall I'm quite happy with this, even though Bachmann got their one out before I'd finished it.
