RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted March 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2021 It does look nice. Although being picky why did they have the footplate curve halfway along the cab instead of in line with the front? We have a go at Heljan sometimes but even the Southern couldn't get basics right!

It's already got one? Do you mean you could have gone with an original green small yellow panel without headlight but would have had to add the stripe?

I think the issue is if I have one then I'll end up with 8. I've already got more 37's than planned and only half of them are ready for traffic! Nice touch with the Engineers flashes on 022, always liked a DCE loco, usually pretty battered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
