Scattergun MTH workshop or A Glutton for Punishment.

A Little conversation goes with the next departure from the shed......

Given a PRMRP 47 to repaint.
Owner “you can do any livery you want as long as it is 1975-80s BR Blue ”
Me “OK! ”

Made a start




Owner “Its got a white roof!!!”
Me “yes. You wanted BR, so im doing you a Stratford Pet”
Owner “Well at least it won’t be the one with the flag as you can’t get the transfers”
Me...Evil Grin....Thinking to myself "Don't bet on it"





Flag and numbers now available from Railtec Transfers

Just need to make and fit the windscreen wipers

surprising what damage you can do with wet and dry and a fiberglass pen...........

Nice weathering.

Just a little observation. D1036 was the only Western to have a slightly higher positioned numberplate. (think it was due to some cab electrical gubbings added). The top edge of the numberplate was in line with the cab door handle. Geek mode now off
