50 031
This is 50 031 'Hood' in Large Logo blue, with EM wheelsets fitted and DCC sound on board. She was stripped right the way down and has had a plethora of extra detailing fitted. Extreme Etchings/Shawplan produce etches for the roof area of the model in order to rectify issues with the Hornby model and all of these were fitted, including the fan and grille. PH Designs manufacture an etch to replace the over scale louvres in the body side radiator grilles - a real challenge as all the individual slats need to be soldered in place - well worth the effort though for overall appearance. Once all the relevant details were added, she had her livery applied by airbrush and transfers added from the RailTec range. She was then given a light to moderate weathering and laser glazing from Extreme Etchings was fitted. This model was completed for one of the lads on the 'Glasgow Queen St' team, so will eventually find employment as one the Railtour collection of Locos on the layout.
