55 011
This is the Accurascale Class 55 'Deltic' finished in BR blue and weathered from a 1981 photo of Number 11 in pretty run down condition. All my usual weathering techniques have been employed on the Loco and then everything has been sealed in with an airbrushed layer of Matt varnish. To compliment this Loco, she has received replacement brass horns, Extreme Etchings etched brass nose steps and the bespoke footplate crew for the Deltic from ModelU. She also has onboard DCC sound factory fitted by Accurascale. Our customer wanted detail adding and screwlink coupling fitted at one end only, with the tension lock being retained on the rear end. I thoroughly enjoyed the weathering process on this model and found it really difficult to send her back to the customer!
