LMS and BR (LMR) Models 3

 

This is the "Turbomotive" again, only this time in its short-lived BR lined black, mixed traffic livery.

 

The good old Super D. This loco was built years before the excellent Bachmann ready-to-run models appeared on the scene. I detailed it a little, as the GEM kit from which it was made is a bit basic in all honesty. However, I still think it captures the look of prototype rather well. The model is fitted with a Comet chassis, and because of its cast whitemetal body, is very heavy and solid, and pulls like no other loco I have.

 

Another GEM London & North Western Railway kit, this time of a "Precedent" Class 2-4-0.

 

This is a Caledonian Railway Class 66 4-4-0 - a McIntosh rebuild of an earlier Drummond design. Built from a DJH kit.

 

46225 is "Duchess of Gloucester" from DJH kit no.K70. This loco differs from the model on page 1, by being a rebuilt loco that, in real life, was originally streamlined. There are a number of differences, the most obvious being the lack of the curved drop-down section of the running plate ahead of the cylinders, and although not visible from this angle, it also has a de-streamlined tender.
