Lovely.
What struck me was how much like it was to these:
Now I don't have a drawing of the Raven class, but they do look awfully similar. So similar, in fact, that I'm starting to wonder why Horny have never produced one of these as a 'fictitious' livery for the Caley - after all, they seem to have done everything else.
So anyway, I picked up a couple of pugs this morning from the toy fair (who doesn't love a bargain?) I bought two because the L&Y livery version looks so cute that I will probably keep it 'as is'. The LMS red one (which the previous owner has already had a go at with a brush) is for the chop.
It's quite tempting just to leave it as it is and re-livery it... but the changing the boiler fittings, chimney etc would make such a big difference I think it would be worth the effort. The cab needs extends backwards by the look of it too - not sure how, but hey-ho I'll have a think.
Any ideas where I can get name and number plates from ?
