Sounds like you have hit a particularly bad batch Mick. Mine is generally good, though some of the tender lining appears worn off along the top edge. If I were a SR modeller, it would take very little work to make it an acceptable sidings model.

The Schools looks as if it may be alright, apart from the very fine, almost invisible handrails.

When is the next LNER due?

At the risk of being censured for commenting on the shade of blue, By jove I think you've got it.

Simon that really is good.

I've 14 hornby A4's. (I know way to many), All BR late crest. Your efforts have tempted me to have a go at doing one inspite of that. BR late crest Bittern comes to mind. As a Gateshead loco weathered heavily too....

Thanks for the inspiration

Thank you gents. Once weathered and sealed, I suspect it'll look the part even more. I've more or less convinced myself that starting effectively with the GBL body shells and doing the rest myself on a Bachmann A4 chassis is the way to go for me. I will finish the Railroad chassis prototype but to be frank it's the valve gear and general ease of conversion with the Bachmann model which assures its use.

Scotsman Tender ready for Coronation duty. Fitted to a Hornby underframe.

That's really nice work Mick. It seems pre-war they may have painted the upper band black, post-war for my period (1947-49) it is definitely blue. Have confirmed this on SNG and six other locos thus far.

The silver strip is very nicely done too.
