As mentioned elsewhere Warwells too... yes, typical. There was never a special on the warwells until after I bought them. Not a big sale though 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Class 20 is back complete with paul Chetter sound. Some slight issues to resolve on the black painting around the front windows then it will be numbered, named and weathered. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Fixed numbers to the 20, added cantrail stripe to front that Heljan omitted to do. Painted out some of the black window surround that as far as I can tell was not quite correct with R/F 20’s. Kingfishers added next are the plates which I have here ready to fix on. Managed to break one of the front footsteps and the lamp brackets are proving to be a right pain to fit to the buffers but Hey ho.... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me wondering now did class 20s have an A and a B end? I've always thought of the nose as the front even though they lead with the other end in pairs! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they will have an A side and a B side, but if memory serves correctly its generally No1 End and No2 End. UK loco's generally No1 End is that nearest the cooler group (Rad fan), yank loco's (66/67) its the opposite. Now single cab loco's is yet another minefield so a 20, normal conjecture would suggest that the cab is actually No2 End but I wouldn't bank on it! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi Ian, Iv neglected it for a while to be honest, had a few blues like we all seem to get from time to time. Quite a bit to do, Iv got scatters to put down and some static grass by track being taken up and walkway by goods shed. Weather platform and now decided to put trunking by the side of the track. When Dapol release the GWR Home signal add that etc. The Grand children love to operate trains when they come around at least. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
