Well, I dunno... bit clean for my liking :wink: :lol:

Well done mate - great work as usual. Though I wonder if RSDerek will be able to get some 47 frontal modifications out like he suggested a while back? A proper headboard for this beast would be welcome!

Kind regards
Joe

Just a bit of weathering and it'll look spot-on :).

Looks like your off to a good start!
A couple of little pointers, the nameplate should be all caps

And how about one of these? :D

Hi Jo
thanks for the Brush plates link i will certainly use one of them for the finished version.
Yea i know the plate is wrong,at the time i couldnt find a suitible photo of the plate to use,so had to adapt a nameplate "Northern Star"
since then i have now obtained a photo of north stars nameplate.

With thanks
kevin

Who's going to have a crack at the WSR so we can run it with 53808?

Looks good :D

Yea!
I wonder if Railwaves might consider it,they have a huge ammount of data on the WSR.
