blueeighties Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Here we have one of the rather tasty wee Cromptons. Heljan 0 gauge. Renumbered/named as 33025 'Sultan'. Roof resprayed grey, tricky roof cant rail grilles picked out in black, orange cantrail stripe added, missing leccy flashes added, weathered and DCC fitted. Lovely. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
