jamieb Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi all My son , having recently turned 15 and discovered guitars and girls , has given me custody of all his unwanted model railway stock.Amongst these is a Hornby 5972 Hogwarts Castle, with loco drive.(I told him to buy a Grange but he wouldn't listen) http://www.anticsonl...69_1_22892.html So having grown out of Harry Potter, he's happy to let me repaint it as a GWR loco.However, given the differences in Castles over the years, what series does the model best represent?Period doesn't matter as it won't fit into either of my existing layout plans by a long way, but I'd still like to get it looking like a proper loco.Any suggestions appreciated.

hornbyrepairs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 As it was derived from a Dapol locomotive drive, any Dapol Castle body will fit, Dapol modified it to locomotive drive when they acquired the former Airfix/GMR range.
