It already has more than a touch of the late George Iliffe Stokes about it.
Absolutely 50002 (not that it went anywhere near that part of the world...)

Hi Rob, not only George Iliffe Stokes but I am sure Dr Ian Allan is lurking with his camera!
Very nice to see you have moved across the country to East Anglia, the J15 is a lovely model and I am very interested in your comment regarding changing the chimney, where will you source the stove pipe brass casting? When you do change it can you post some pictures please? I have a J15 and would like to do same along with lowering the roof to represent a GE era loco. I have the article on these engines from a GERS magazine and I think this would be passable?
Also there was an article in the RM when Hornby introduced the J15 by Craig Tilley showing how to make this model represent a stove pipe fitted engine.
I do like the Toad and I will be following this little project.
Thanks again for the photos.
Julian
