Courtesy of Kempenfelt here are a couple of pictures of Barrowroad's re-liveried Horwich Mogul "42763". As I think was mentioned on an earlier entry this loco arrived as SLW's shopfloor last summer finished in early LMS livery. Photo below
The loco was stripped and repainted at the same time as the 8F and K1 but I have only just finished off the lining. In this case I've used Fox transfers along with a bit of hand lining on the running plate. Prior to all this the loco needed a little work to bring it up to a late 1950's condition. This consisted of...
- Tender coal rails, revised front frames with lifting holes and cab doors using a Brassmasters detail etch
- Snap head rivetted smokebox wrapper done with Archer transfers
Stuff still to do
- Paint rear buffer beam
- Tender plates
- Dirty cream walls inside the cab
- Cab glazing
- Coal and crew
- AJ coupling on the pony truck
- Final varnish coat
- A "3 weeks out of the works" light weathering job
This is a big heavy loco and I reckon it will romp up Fishponds bank with 10 on......and no banker.
