Upgrading my ED

Before I took the chassis over for milling I gave it a quick test run. All working fineicon_thumbsup2.gif . Buffer beams and detailing are now fixed to the body. Still trying to work out the best way for fixing the body to the chassis, but this is a minor worry. A later job will be to fit etched grills and wire handrails. Anyone know if Shawplan do them, I can't find any conversion kits on their website, the fittings page was last updated on 24 February 2004blink.gif .

 

I have now found what I need at M.G.Sharp. A1 models bodyside and roof grills plus the airhorns. What is the correct shade of green on these in their early days icon_question.gif Would it be Phoenix P124 B.R. Electric stock green 1959-66. And what colour is the pale green stripe along the bottom, would it be the same as on the Hymeks icon_question.gif

Be warned though that the A1 air horns arnt in stock at Howes as ive tryed to get them for my 73s as well!

A to-the-point email from MG sharp stated that the manufacturer does the range in his spare time!

 

A1 also do roof grills, and the Fan grills as well which should all be availiable from MG sharp, if you can find somewhere that does the A1 class 73 air horns let me know as im also in need of some!!

 

Livery wise cant really help you on that part sadly, but maybe someone who models the BR green era could?

 

Will you be redoing the underframe as well?

I may do the underframes, but I may just carefully weather it like merlin46 has done here.
