Looking great and since it never got beyond the concept stage, no-one can tell you it's wrong.

I think if you showed it to a Hardcore Rivet counter they may explode... just because they can't rag the model

Impressive!  I suggested this to what's his name at ficticious liveries to do.  First he stuck a pantograph on top of a HST before doing the "modular" loco.  He never once gave me credit so I stopped sending him stuff.

I started off that whole stema loco in BR blue thing by the way!

A smashing job Pete.  
It's always a great feeling when a project like this works and you know that
a) it was worth the effort and
b) you have a loco that no-one else has got!

Good one

Thanks Tom , Now the hard bit starts , It will need some more work sanding and filling then a repaint but the basics are now all done , I wonder what Dave will do with the cab from the 91 ?

Noakesy , As long as you don't drink it to quicky you can have a beer
