This is my first modelling post on Western Thunder. The attached photographs show a Minerva RTR 0 gauge riveted 57XX. It has been modified to represent an unfitted 67XX based at 86B Newport Pill shed. The main modification was to change the screw coupling to a simple chain and to fit the Bagnall manufacturer's plates to the front splashers. As exclusively freight engines, they were usually filthy and I have tried to simulate this. The number, shed code and manufacturer's plates are by Narrow Planet and the crew figures are ModelU. The bucket and fire-irons come with the model. It is equipped with a ZIMO sound decoder loaded with the exclusive pannier sound project designed by Paul Chetter for Minerva. I have included a photo of the loco before weathering.
