MrWolf Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 One of the few bits I can remember from the children's book Worzel Gummidge, was the part where he was told that his hands were filthy and needed a wash. His reply was: "They're not that dirty, you can still see the shape of 'em!" 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I used an actual one of the preserved loco Bradley Manor which I used as a guide. I say guide as some of the details where different but not enough to cause an issue (to me) at this scale. The main colour is my normal BlackGrey shade. Excuse the poor quality but I took a picture of the computer screen as I was to tight to print one off.... Hi Kevin Sorry to correct the photograph, but I don't believe this is 7802, Manors were fitted with a screw reverser, I suspect this could be 2807 as it appears to be a Churchward cab (no side windows). The only caveat I would say about the cab interior colours is that the backhead plating may be black, along with the footplate metalwork. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted September 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) This is 7828 Odney Manor at one of the recent WSR open days: Sorry, not the best photo and take it with a pinch of salt because, (a.) it's one of the 1950s BR-built versions and (b.) it's in preservation livery. I've only just noticed the helpfully labelled Whistle chains - "Whistle" and "Brake Whistle"... Interesting...
