My plan is to apply the shirt button roundel but I will need to remove the lamp brackets, two steps and then make good to the paintwork which I expect might be more than just a small area. Its just one of those jobs that gets put off as other projects come along but it will be done one day. I did think as a stop gap measure was to do the side doors with the roundels and remove the writing, badge on either end and leave at that for the short term. You never know, typing this might prompt me into action!! Would it not be possible to ask Dapol if they can supply the correct Body for you, or to advertise on here, or the Facebook OO Model Railways for Sale site for a Body Swap with someone. https://www.facebook.com/groups/270721966362295 I did that on Facebook O Gauge site for my 37 and had a couple of responses and its worked for me. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I did that with a Bachmann Prairie, managed to get a BR black one cheaply, (There were a lot about.) and a new body in pre 1934 livery for less than people were asking for a complete loco in pre 1934 livery. Once I had done the body swap, I sold the BR black body. All I have to do now is lose the orange lining on the cylinder lagging. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) I reckon this fruit Van is over 30 yrs old and it wasn't till I took this picture that I'm not sure if the livery is correct, or at least very borderline.

RMweb Premium Gedward Posted July 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 8, 2021 They both have merit. But the 2nd cropped version has a more cinematic feel and gives more of a sense of distance too. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
