I usually try to model locos that I saw or can prove visited my native East Anglia. On this occasion, I have found no proof so far, but I am sure it must have visited some time during the 1970’s, 80’s or 90’s.

So why model this loco? Well it was one of the last 37’s to retain its original BR Blue, possibly the last! I added the frost grille which it retained and covered the steam boiler port. I also found one photo with a few of the ‘Selwyn Sheep’ stencilled on the body! So to be different I added some Railtec transfers of the said beastie.
