  1. Its no real problem to remove the actual handrails . The result is of course, the potential damage to surrounding detail on the bodywork. The Horsebox isnt too bad the Pigeon Van was a real problem due to very long horizontal rails.

     

     

    It would be much easier for the bodies to have the handrail positions marked with a hole or dent . You can then fit a handrail or glue a piece of Plastic rod onto the marks. Simples :P

     

    Glazing will be added to mine after painting the body sans roof . The Roof will be added last

  2. Just had one arrive.

     

    Looks ok, some minor flash, it comes with moulded handrails and door handles !! The same problem is on the Chivers Pigeon Van :blink: Why do they still do this ??

     

     

    Does anyone know of a source for LNER White lettering " Return to Newmarket " decals ? I presume the Cambridge version is in Yellow ???

  3. Its a shame that the V2 body isnt being upgraded. The moulding looks poor compared to current mouldings , the tender with fixed coal etc needs a much better moulding too.

    It will be interesting to compare the B1 with the new Hornby when it arrives that is a much better body than the V2., but again the tender lets it down. I must have a good B1 never had a problem with it :D

  4. O4 now as O4/3 version in pre weathering pictures. Archer Rivet decals added to the front of the frames and to the edge of the Chimney . Moulding lines removed from Boiler and Chimney, Buffer housings now Red. Chequer plate area in front of Smokebox smothed over with filler
