GEM J83 Kit - NBR or LNER version?

[Alex TM]

Hi everyone,

 

I have just acquired one of the above kits, complete with chassis.  I know that the class were reboilered during their life leading to a revised dome and chimney.  Can anyone tell me which versions come with the kit, i.e the original Homes D class fittings or the later (Reid?) ones?

 

The answer will guide me in terms of potential livery application.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Regards,

 

Alex.

LNER version. 1924 ISTR. 

 

The boiler fittings are the ones in the photographs. There aren't alternatives provided.

 

 

I notice you've already got it, but if you did want a NBR version 52F do one.
