  1. So...it was mentioned before, and I said no. But I was in East Somerset Models yesterday, and saw a Farish bodyshell for sale. I spent the rest of the day thinking how best to achieve what I want...that is, a class 50!

    The body will be given a nose job and detailed. The bogies are from the new model 37, at this point its sat on a pair from what will be DRS 37038. I plan to get hold of a spare pair, and the black rings that the bogies clip into. This will be used with a spare motor and a home made chassis. These bogies are a world away from those used on the Farish 50 (and old style 37) chassis, so it's worth the effort to use them

    Now, paint wise, LoadHaul is oh so very very tempting, but I think more than likely I'll be doing Defiance in Large Logo with a grey roof, as it was for most of the era of the layout
