Crisis Rail Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Jock McRat. 25/2 large TOPS numbers. What can can it be renumbered to? Non Scottish allocation Ideally to have under cab window numerics. Thanks. Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Not much as it is the later body style but fitted with boiler water tanks which only a small batch (25083-25087 I think) had so you are limited to those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRat is the term for Scottish sulzers, no need for the Jock part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAILRAGE Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Boiler water tanks are a separate moulding that will just pop off if carefully levered off. You will have to make a blanking cover for the boiler exhaust but its a simple process. repaint faded/weathered whatever floats your boat. As for the headcode you could run it pre-tops or tops. Flickr is your friend here plenty of options to choose from. Good luck and Enjoy. Cheers Trailrage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
