    I assume you have changed the dome (and the chimney ?) Where did you obtain the B1 style dome ?

     

    Are there alterations to be made to the cab interior control ? I hope to convert 65817 to 65894.

     

    I have already had to sell on the early crest model as I hadnt noticed the dirrences in boiler bands etc.

      Rather more coal than the Oxford model - and a mashing can on the backhead !

      This is my favourite:  https://flic.kr/p/FEKxtQ. Did you take it?

       

      To get the chimney/dome off: Mine was very well glued so it was body off and use a punch to tap them out. Both chimney and dome are located in their respective recesses by two spigots. Carefully tap directly on the spigots.

       

      The boiler moulding is very thin and delicate at the mating surfaces so you need to tread carefully. If you have any cyano debonder  (I didn't) it might be worth applying some to the joints and letting it do its stuff.
