    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

      HMRS transfers (I already had them) and Phoenix paint.

      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!

      As goods engines these were always painted Holly (dark) green. When new the lining was a bit more elaborate, like passenger engines.

      There is the other issue that the model is of a rebuilt loco, the rebuilding started in 1920. Backdating it to original condition is not for the faint hearted.
