Thanks CK. Provenance is Dapol supplied in unfinished state. Good value in my eyes and a nice quick project I think Robin's may be similar but my versions are fitted with Gibson wheels, Dave Franks Lanarkshire Models buffers/roof vents. I think Rob has added a few other tweaks to his. In my case finished with Citadel, Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics. Transfers from John Isherwood at Cambridge Custom Transfers. Robin has done a proper job on his version and it's looks good behind 9440 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted March 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks to Robin and Toboldlygo for their replies above as well Like I mentioned previously a lovely little pocket money project. Worth a look. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted March 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 A few more fresh shots of Newton based 94xx class 9440 heading east with a train of vans. I've treated myself to a couple of BR grey opens [Oxford] to compliment these vans and will add them when I've finished weathering them ,adding some Gibson wheels and maybe adding a load. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
