It just goes to show you can't have enough pictures! Unfortunately the images I saw didn't have any dates so I don't know where or when they were taken.

I received my BR black lined model today. It is a beautiful model. However when checking my photo albums and images on line it seems that the lining may be incorrect. On 31574 it appears that the cab is not lined or it has been obliterated by dirt. Each wheel arch is individually lined only. They are not linked by continuous lining. On 31577 the lining on the rear wheel arch is incorporated into the cab side lining which extends only to just underneath the handrail. It then goes straight across and follows the outline of the rear cab edge back down to the wheel arch. All lining appears to be red and grey. I can't make out any red only lining. The curved beading is not lined. I think I will modify my 'D' to 31577 as I rather like the lined out cab. As mentioned previously I'm pretty sure the emblem on the right side of the tender should be facing forward, i.e. to the right and not be a standard left facing one. None of this detracts from the model for me as I am quite happy to make these amendments.
