Jack P Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Thanks @Graham_Muz! Model duly ordered and transfers prepared for number 71. Possibly a bit late to check, but would the bunker have also been modified by now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted April 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi Jack The very first modifications before they entered service was to add the can side windows , they ran with the original bunkers at first that were then changed to the extended type at the same time the cabs were modified with square windows to improve forward and rear visibility along with roof ventilators. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
