Blog- Paxton Road - Another celebrity today...

Twice this month - celebrity visits to Paxton Road! Had a tip off that it might be worth heading down, so nipped out over lunch.

 

However I expect 33108 wasn't happy to be there - dumped by 33202 earlier in the day she's failed and waiting collection. Arriving at Paxton Road I grabbed a few shots from the road bridge before walking down to the yard and looking for someone to ask permission to grab a few snaps.

After I'd been given the nod (and a high vis) I grabbed a few shots from the yard before heading back to work.

33108 is a Heljan model with end detail, weathering and the bogie spring mod - otherwise out of the box. Getting her out reminded me of what a good model the Heljan 33/1 is - it captures the prototype perfectly - and I do have a huge soft spot for Cromptons! Don't worry, as a model she's not failed as a model!
