A couple of Locos re worked/improved
W1 which I last showed with the cab veering towards the sky. After adjustments now much better.
Dominion Of Canada with a reworked Tender that now has the chrome stripe in a much better postion than Hornby have managed on their versions.
A number of other Locos have stalled at the moment waiting for etched detail parts to complete.

Guillemot and Silver King
Hornby weathered LMS CCT
Big thanks to Graeme as all the A4's has damage and/or missing parts . His resin Single chimneys, Buffer apron and Oil Drive Casting have made these models so much easier to build and repair.

Usual Precision Doncaster Green, I can only presume artificial lighting as i.d with Kingfisher version in daylight. Tender is in the original Hornby livery.

I envy your patience Mick, those green ones are stunning. I like Mr King have a soft spot for A4s in proper green.

'The background colour of the nameplates was originally black (as it was on other LNER named locomotives) but from about 1938 the 'special' A4's (i.e Nos 2509-2512, 4488-92/5/6 ) had theirs changed to light red. Nos. 4469/98/9, 4500 were also altered similarly when they received stainless steel embellishments in 1939. Tom Foster Modelling the North Eastern Area of the LNER - 1935-1939
