47 541 ‘The Queen Mother’ – here’s another example of a Lima Class 47 which has been through my workshop for one of my valued clients. Again, she has had a full strip down to the plastic before having all the detail fitted and re-sprayed and weathered. I cut my modelling teeth on hacking about Lima Loco’s in the 1980’s and are still my most favourite models to ‘do up’. Transforming one of these Locos still provides the most dramatic of make-overs and is incredibly satisfying for me when a client views the end result.
