    Hi Nile. I was really impressed with your Drummond 700 class conversion -- from BR to LSWR green. I have the same loco and have been thinking of doing the same, however I'm really nervous about taking so many small parts off it. Could I do a similar conversion simply by taping/masking the areas? TIA. Rob

      Sorry, I have another question if that's OK. I'd like to have my loco in the LSWR colours of 1900-05 roughly, so I think the green would be brighter, almost with more lime. If you click on the link below, you can see the brighter green I'm thinking of. Would this be OK for the period I'm aiming for (which is slightly earlier than your 1920 timeframe)? I've found a green that comes close. Thanks again!

      Thanks! I appreciate your reply.I didn't want to ruin an otherwise good loco. I'm even thinking of hand painting the boiler and tender using (say) Humbrol paint. Did you buy the transfers from Fox or HMRS?
