Rescued from the 'Loft of the Lost' is the Steve Beattie resin NBL Type 2 kit I've had for a while. I did contemplate resurrecting the RJH 31 but thought better of it.

I've checked the box and everything appears to be there except for the instructions. Armed with a few pics I'm sure I shall overcome – unless anyone has a set of the instructions to hand, in which case I'd be very grateful.
I was thinking of an Eastern Class 21 but I thought I'd wait for JLRT to bring out their kit and do something with that. Plus, this is an opportunity to post something in WR Action, which I've not done before. This will be a winter distraction so there's no timetable or deadline, although things will develop quicker if the predicted snows arrive.
I've not finished research yet so if anyone has any favourite online resources please let me know. This is the only picture of D6315 in 'as built' condition that I've come across so far, although there are quite a few of its siblings to call upon. I'm not going to spend a lot of money on it replacing parts so this will be as close to 'out of the box' as possible.
My first questions are what are the small circles at the top of the nose and what are the oval parts across the middle of the nose? My guess is lights and windows, but I'm hoping I'm wrong on the windows. Finally, where on earth do I get wheels from?
Wish me luck!
