    37411 to 37422

    By magic_monkey09,

    Hi, This project has actually been on my workbench since about october last year. I actually started and finished 37406 after this one so its been kicking around a while anyway i will be making EWS 37422 (in its current dumped at toton condition) from the current Bachmann base model 37411 using Model Master transfers for the new numbers and Fox nameplates. i will be trying to achieve the same standard as 406 with the exception of sound on this one. (incase you are wondering why i keep referring to 37406 there are some pics of it in my gallery) I have used Heljan ploughs and Bachmann's new screwlink couplings on it by the way B) nameplates were a right sod to fit but i got them to stay on in the end Here are some pics of where 37422 has got to so far......

    have added 422's famous scratch on the other side but for some reason i forgot to take a pic of the other side
     
     
    Now, before some one points out that there is a Ready to run vitrains example of this model available i am aware of this personally vitrains just don't quite do it for me in terms of quality that Bachmann do and offer for around the same price I am a big 37 fan , EWS/DBS ones in particular interest me, dont quite know why? perhaps its because they are flogged to death yet still keep going (just) 37422 is a favourite of mine being last overhauled and named at my local Welsh depot Cardiff Canton now sadly closed anyway please comment and let me know what you think B)
