6027 King Richard I GW Green
Background:
The model started as a Hornby King in Great Western livery, it has been rebranded to G crest W removing the original branding with Microsol and repainting the black areas. The missing double red route indicators were added with HMRS transfers, along with a set of Modelmasters etched plates. A Lenz Gold decoder is fitted in the decoder, the loco needed some rewiring as the 8 pin socket was incorrectly wired by Hornby.
Usage:
Naturally this will join the other two Kings on the key expresses, I cant see a time when there will not be two kings on the layout (with a spare in the stock box).
Work remaining:
The loco needs fitting with a Dingham coupling on the rear, a crew fitting, tender coaling and lamps. The bigger job that remains is to sort out the colour with a coat of klear, along with some light weathering.
