I didn't realise that it was the FA Cup Semi Final. Lost touch with football with Wigan Athletic doing so bad this year . . . Wigan winning the FA Cup ourselves seems a long time ago now.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted May 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can someone answer a silly question. Is there any difference between the as built 57/3 (ie pre cab front chop) and the production series 57/6? I have a damaged Virgin 57/3 and rather fancy giving it a re spray into fgw faux GWR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a damaged Virgin 57/3 and rather fancy giving it a re spray into fgw faux GWR Pretty certain they are the same. The VT 57/3's were ordered with Dellners, but weren't originally fitted as the design hadn't been sorted out. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a damaged Virgin 57/3 and rather fancy giving it a re spray into fgw faux GWR There's no difference between them other than the 57/3 have the dellner on the front All the FGW 57/6s were actually converted from no heat 47s, which made them a bit more challenging! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
