I purchased this Loco very much second hand and in poor condition, but well made and at the right price. I have since given it a complete makeover, a new identity and partial repaint. It will now take its place on my Steam Depot Layout with BR(NE) stock based in the early 50’s. I have added a crew and coal in the bunker. The loco is DCC fitted with stay alive, but runs fine on DC – so will leave it!
It will be weathered and have a LNER Oil headlight added in future.
BEFORE (ex LNER)
AFTER – BR(NE)
