More work on the O Gauge Heljan Bodyshell. I have now added all the hand grips on the roof and given it a coat of roof grey, very time consuming, but has to be done!

I have removed the lamp brackets I originally fitted and replaced them with less steam engine looking ones. I then gave the Warning Panel another top coat of yellow..

I have come to a couple of conclusions about this conversion – I put the roof cab grills in the same position as the Skytrex ones on the donor loco – I now feel that they are slightly too big and should have been a bit higher on the cab. To late now – but we live and learn – even when you are 77 years old.

I have some spare Headcode Disc’s – so will fit them. As far as getting a complete Heljan window pack and a Heljan roof fan and grill – I have no idea!
