PHREAK Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 There's a gag about a tender behind somewhere..... It's worth replacing the handrails and putting some glazing into the cab, I'm sure there used to be off the shelf super detail kits, perhaps a proper railhead will chip in . Enjoy the kit, I'm sure you'll be chuffed with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beany Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Are you getting anywhere with this 'un Sean? I got the same loco - in an Airfix box I think but it may be the Dapol, can't remember - which I could knock together quickly for Telford. I'm a big Bullied BofB/West Country class fan so would enjoy the challenge - I think I've got some Fox decals for the orange/black loco and tender lining also somewhere. Let me know where your at buddy. Cheers Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pull this beauty off and I promise I will stop a certain tool grief forever Bex I tossed it in the bin by accident :shithappens: I put it in the box with the hobby boss Mirage which I decided I couldn't be bothered to finish and threw it in the old bin I then realised after the dustman had taken the mirage ..the Loco that just needed green paint and decalling was also in the box ..so basically it got binned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Bex, if I was to tell you the fate of this build, you wouldn't believe me. Suffice to say if anybody is up for building one so that we can show one of these at Telford, feel free. If I get time I might try it myself. And, no, it didn't get the hammer treatment. , but it might as well have! peebeep Damn, he beat me to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
