Hi Trev
Excellent modelling of the old Gloucester Favourates (you will have to do D6320 for the set !), have you lowered the headcode boxes slightly on D6354? as that is what it looks like in the 1st image. also I know you do your 4mm loco`s in EM have you pulled the wheels out on their axial`s? Dont forget to remove the silver coloured beading to the cab door windows on D6331. I like the fact that you have corrected the appaling attempt by Dapol of the cab detail, dont forget the arch between the driver and secondmans desk this was above the front end connecting door. above this was located an NBL builders plate.
Cheers
Mr TV
Thanks Steve,
D6354 has had the boxes lowered, the loco was going to be D6327 and I planned to go the whole hog with detailing it, but I realized I was wasting my time trying to improve and get it right and the front end ended up a bit of a mess, so was thrown to one side. After time the decision was taken to start on the front end again, but instead of fixing my errors, that I'd redo the front end and change it to D6354, so something good came from it and D6327 was done with another taking the easier route.
The wheels are the Dapol wheels of which somebody removed 15 thou from the back of wheels for me and then accordingly spaced out.
Cab detail has been kept to a minimum, I know you would go the whole way, but I wanted something that represented a NBL cab and not Dapol's effort. I've fitted the important details though, like ashtrays and lunch
If I was to do another it would be D6320, followed by 6308, but I think three is even to many for my needs.
Cheers
Trevor.
