Liverbird81 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hey guys I'm interested to know if anybody's had a bash at a NIR 450 class in any livery and what's the best donors to use thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunluce Castle Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi there, I have seen some decent 150 re paints to make them look like a 450, but if you want something more accurate, worsley works do a brass kit for the 450 class, apart from mentioned I haven't seen anyone bash a 450 class before.

73.River.Roe. Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Very time consuming to convert from donors eg 150 class units and these being underfloor powered you would need to re-power and keep underframes clear for brake gear etc. As Nelson says a 450 class brass kit from worsley works is easier to build and can be completed within a very short time frame too...

BosKonay Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Bratchells make some options that can work with modification too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirley Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Here is one I made from a Dapol Class 151/2 some time ago. But it would not touch a Worsley Works kit, but a lot easier to make. Good luck on your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
