ENTRY EDITED to include link to a prototype picture HERE

With the now fast approaching deadline of January 24th for the Crewe Exhibition, it suddenly struck me that I had offered to build a "shovel nosed" inspired diesel loco for it principal organiser, CRMs very own "Blackcloud" or as he was on earlier RMwebs "Yorkshire Pullman"

It was a while ago Bob asked if I would have a go at making an On30 Shovel Nose diesel for him, so I accepted the donor engine and promptly put it somewhere safe, that safe I forgot about it till Monday this week !! So after asking Bob to resend the proto picture I set to work spending some time Tuesday and Wednesday evening with a couple of sheets of plasticard.

This is where Ive got. Havent posted the proto image as Im not sure of the source / copyright.

Its not an exact scale model as it should really be considerably longer but it looks something like what it is ment to !?!?

It needs a good clean up now and a few coats of paint, which is the big problem as the paint is in the shed, its - 7.5 outside so everything liquid in the shed will be frozen !
