P2 or P3 class in NER colours - slightly less bright than the J72 and with some weathering please.

I had a query on one a while back...

I was about to do an identical poll - I've got several projects I can't decide on.

I voted for the Stirling Single :), I love the J27 and it is a loco I'd love to tackle (if I can get the drawings) so hidden reason for voting for the Stirling ;).

Eddief,

I was going to pop down to the NRM and pick up some copies of plans from their archives, but if you want to do the j27 in the near future, let me know, and I will leave it to you.

Nooooo! - More NER please ;)

Anything pre-grouping is great - I have plans for just about all NER locos (inc P1,P2 & P3), we have a Y7 & Y8 and there is a Raven S1 due soon (jon!) - They would make such a great set and some could be legitimately used on the S&C 1920's route (though a good NE route would be better)

P3? Great! I know eddief wants to build one too, but I love the class, and would really like to build it too (don't tell eddief, but I have secretly been working on it for a week now ;) ) If you can email the plans, PM me and I'll send you my email address. Cheers,

The world badly, badly needs more type 1s - I think Jimmylad's working on a class 16, but a class 15 would make this world a better place!

No worries mate, at the rate my building is going the J27 would have been through the works at least once more before I built it, you go ahead with it :).
