A few weeks back at Scaleforum, I got into a conversation about Mendip operations, causing a bit of a spike in my interest in getting on with finishing a couple of my stone projects

59004 uses a lima 59/0 body on a Bachmann Class 66 chassis. The chassis has been modified with the lima sideframes (suitably modified to add the missing corner), modified Bachmann fuel tanks and scratch built air tanks / battery boxes.

The chassis is now finished and painted (and converted to P4), which just leaves the body.

The A1 grill (which has been placed over the hole cut many years ago) looks so dated, Going to have to get on and use something else (so this wont get finished until I get round to drawing something up I suspect...)
