This loco is a model made by Bachmann Brass about 10 years ago. When I purchased it about three years ago, it was in unnumbered and unlined condition in base LNER livery. I had to repaint it in BR Standard Loco Green livery, line and number it. I chose 60938 a Loco that was based at March 31B in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

This is a Loco I purchased about three years ago. It was mostly finished but needed a few tweaks. The main problem was that it was painted in LNER Lined Green and I do not Model LNER! About three weeks ago I decided to strip the green paint and completely re-finish the Loco.

I have finished it as a Lowestoft Loco No 67214 as running in the mid 1950’s, just before withdrawal in 1958. This loco runs very well and will be lightly weathered at a later date.

This is a renumber, rename and re-logo job for my mate Mike. I think Mike has had the Loco for some time and he was researching an ideal identity for it based on the different quirks of the B17 build and/or works changes. I had to change the BR Logos as one was facing the wrong way and then number and name the Loco. The Loco in the late 50’s was based at 31B March Shed and carries this shed plate on the smokebox door.

The Makers Plates beneath the Nameplate still need to be ordered as Mike feels the ones he has purchased could be wrong. I also need to paint the safety valves and whistle a brass colour, it was a bit of a rush to get the below photos between showers hence not quite finished on photos.

Here we have two recently purchased Dapol 08’s . Both have been renumbered and had the different Scottish Depot Logos added. The White Stag is the Inverness Logo and Leaping Salmon is Sheilds Road/Motherwell Logo. One has been left in ex works condition and the other has been given a light weathering/fade.

I have one or two little tweaks to do, but they almost finished.
