i am currently rebuilding an old Hornby 9F '92220 EVENING STAR' this includes removing the old paint livery and undercoating the locomotive then adding the BR brunswick green livery then applying the transfers and the final pieces such as nameplates and number plates.

 

these first set of pictures show the locomotive minus the nameplate and lining

Wow! Its a proper old classic one with the moulded handrails and shiny metalwork. Its in a lot better condition than my old one is, the motor was fine last time I tried it, but the main coupling rods kept jamming and I couldn't figure a way around that, so its now a static exhibit, just like the real one!

 

Looking forward to see the finished article

i had a problem similar but with part of the running gear has a slot it fits into the main connecting rods i just unscrewed it and re-built the running gear and it runs fine now

 

only thing i struggled with really was weathering the wheels
