Is it at all possible to turn Ian Morgans 421 into a class 309 with a few modifications including a pantograph as one or two forum members (including myself) have requested one and no-one seems interested in doing one.

Cheers,

40058.

I think tehe 309 front is more rounded, like the 442 and it has a big hole below the front windows so it needs shape modifications first.

Not just the 309, you could do the 310 and 312 if you mess with the front end.
