blueeighties Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 I guess it's about time to get the work done on these before one of the new kids on the block announces a new model! A pair of Hornby 31s. I see this as a very good model, but inherently flawed. A very poor electrical pickup design, constant snapped bodyhole screw locating channels, and a lighting/electrical system that I can only presume was designed by the Italians. These have been modded and repainted by Andrew Donnelly, my job is to fix all of the issues, and weather them. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Morning. Another monster today in the shape of a class 37. Meet 37222. This is a full 'back to plastic' re-work of a Heljan centre headcode model. Bufferbeam skirts removed and re-built, new headcode marker panels, Western region original style lamp mounts removed from no 2 end, full repaint and weathering. 222 was one of only a handful of class 37s to retain it's bodyside boiler port door and steps. 14 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted August 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2022 Lee Loco looks superb, is that the diorama that Simon recently made? It really shows off the loco in another dimension although I did like when you photo'd them outside on the wall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
