sean hpw Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi guys, Bit of a daft one here, is it possible to get a reasonable representation of Gresely's GN teams using the Hornby Railroad ones? (I ask as I have several lurking around, so it seems a shame to not use them) Many thanks Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted April 6, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2015 It depends how reasonable the representation is supposed to be, but from my perspective the answer is no. For a start, the roof profiles are different. Window and door arrangements would also be different so would require building new sides. But on the other hand they are both teak.

MikeTrice Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Anything is possible depending on how much work you are prepared to put in. Have look mere at what can be acheived: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58826-grantham-the-streamliner-years/?p=1304365 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harrison Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The most noticeable difference (to my mind at least) is that the GNR Gresleys have top lights over the doors whilst the LNER ones don't. But that can be overcome with a bit of care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean hpw Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wow, the Link has just wet my appetite to try, I suspect it could be just as easy to rub the sides down to smooth, and re bead them with reallly fine micro strip. The roof will be the hardest bit to get right I suppose I could do worse than see if I can find some good drawings of the GN ones Thanks guys!
