I still maintain that the grills on the SLW Class 24, whilst not perfect, are not awful either and are a lot better than some of what had gone before.

It will be interesting to compare the revised rad grills on the forthcoming SLW models. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul 27 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Nice picture where was it taken, back to the model is it an easy job to back date it to the original of the class hence no roof codes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that would take what's known as some modelling. Cab roof dome, disc headcodes, battery box/ tank configuration... The list starts there, I'm sure there are more, but at this point I'd be more interested in 'why' ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much then, why not unless there announcing a class 24/0 in the near future the old model needs replacing, a better choice than this one there producing, or make both.
