All the best.

 

with a Mirlees engine no doubt....:caked:

 

Sssshhhh....!

 

Very smart

 

i wish I still had them...I wrote to Brush and they sent me a pile of sales literature which showed the 31s looking much the same as that.

 

Great finish.

 

A far cry from this!


Preserved Diesels - Ex BR Locomotives UK

 

Still lots more bodywork to do as we have only really attacked on cab so far. But it was the worse. With luck we might have a go at the middle this coming winter....

 

Well done for taking the headlight off and putting the skirts on! Thorough preservation there in my view.

If I had a pound every time I'd seen a pic of a green diesel with a 1990's headlight on the front - with a caption something along of the lines of "you can't tell that this isn't 1960" - i'd probably be able to buy a loco myself

 

Unauthentic headlights on green/blue diesels is nearly as bad as green DMU's with red bulbs in the marker lights!
