Darius43 Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 MTK Class 47 painting completed. I also shortened the chassis by 2mm to stop the bogie fronts foaling the buffer beams and better align the bogie-mounted steps with the cab doors. Also by added buffers and buffer beam side valences.

Darius43 Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Completed. Added nameplates (Fox Transfers), wipers, buffer beam hosiery and cab interiors. Light weathering of chassis to finish. Cheers Darius 4 Quote

Flying Snail Posted Friday at 15:54 Posted Friday at 15:54 Thats a very nice job - you can see from the early pics that a lot of fettling and finessing went into it. 1 1 Quote

irishmail Posted Saturday at 11:50 Posted Saturday at 11:50 Nice work there Darius. Do you have a Lima and Dapol 73 for comparison? Would be interesting to see how they sit along side each other. 1 Quote
