That’s come out well. Do you have the mechanism or is it body only?
Interesting new batch of bodies. The GWR van looks huge with that camera angle.

Erm that is the intermediate batch, bought something off a chap on eBay who asked if I wanted a box of 9 dublo bodies for £20 so couldn't say no but they are awaiting blasting as it's a lot easier than paint stripping and a lot less messy.That’s come out well.

Cheers Tim, that's a great helpHi James
I assume you mean the 0-6-2 LNER N2 tank engines? There is info on LNER liveries here.
I think the N2 tanks were black for most of their lives, but if you scroll down there is information on a red lined black version. I think they were black in GNR and BR ownership as well, but that gives you three side tank lettering options.LNER Encyclopedia: Locomotive and Rolling Stock Liveries
Locomotive and Rolling Stock Liveries for the LNERwww.lner.info
if I’ve picked the wrong tank engine, let me know!
cheers

It's decals I'm afraid, I didn't hand paint them. Though the tender is made of 20 separate pieces.James,
That looks great mate, the pin striping is very neat.
Very nice work James. Just found you
Brings back loads of memories. We lived in Surrey & maternal grand parents in Hull.
Kings cross & off we went LNER all the names come back Perterbrough Grantham Doncaster.
The advert staging set in fields in huge letters. The steam passing the windows in drafts
And the clikety click as I placed my head on the window & felt the motion.
Then we arrive in Hull at Paragon station.
The driver & fireman leaning on the side with those caps they wore steam still escaping & that smell of hot oil.
Those huge wheels on the locomotive.
Brought back a lot of memories James. That was all 1944 up to about 1955.
Keep at it nice to see the work you are doing. I have loved through out my life restoring this that & all the other.

Yes been to Didcot. Just out side. we parked our caravan on a farm which had an old windmill in the grounds.There's something about the smell of steam plant equipment and boilers that can never be mistaken.
I used to work at Didcot railway centre with my father who was a fireman there. I mainly used to clean the locos but miss the smells of it.
