A quick update, two finished Original Battle of Britains, one depicted as the early BR Livery of Malachite Green, the other (well somewhere under all that dirt) is Brunswick Green ;)

 

First up is 34049 Anti-Aircraft Command as requested by my client to be heavy weathered. This used a Winston Churchill as a Donor

Next up is 34050 Royal Observer Corps as early BR with Wedge Cab and standard BR font and slightly workstained appearance. I used a Sir Archie as the donor and swapped the smokebox door ;)

The photo of 34049 reminds me of how clan line looked as she was bought from BR - well, in terms of condition anyway... my father says that they all spend many many hous just hacking away at the grease and gunge on the underframe and wheels with scrapers before finding anything that resembled metal - strange when you look at her now in concourse condition !

Nice work staining on 34050 looks terribly realistic... actually found myself looking to see if that was steam blowing gently from the safety valves in the photo.

 

Yes, I love these beasts too... I just hope that 34081 can get the funds secured for her overhaul soon - and get back to what she does best - wow teh crowds - still.., at least there's a few of these aroundbiggrin.gif
