BrushVeteran Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If I may politely inform you that it should feature a louvred engine room external access door on each side. This was modified on all the 'toffee apple' pilot scheme EE engine conversions D5500-19, including D5518 which became 31101, upon changing from Class 30 to Class 31 during 1968-9 when they also received their first rail blue repaints. I have attached images to help. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also noticed that the depicted model has Mirrlees exhaust ports which are incorrect as my images show. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted February 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14 Accurascale, see launch thread. The decoration artwork in that thread is correct, as per BV's photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15 Hi folks, Just to offer a caveat on this; this is an early decorated sample from last year. The factory used the wrong body assembly for the sample, which as has been correctly observed, uses Mirrlees exhaust ports and features the incorrect bodyside door. Rest assured we were fully aware of this and the final models will have the correct details where they should be! Cheers! Fran 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
