Swap of shells on GWR Steam Locomotives?

[Stefen1988]

Hello there,

 

did someone of the community swapped the shells of Dapol (ex) GWR Steam Locos to get different numbers and name plates - to change a GWR Loco into a later WR(BR) condition and vice versa?

 

Is it easy to take those Locos apart for switching parts?

 

BR adapted the Brunswick Green Livery of the GWR for their Passenger Locos, are those Dapol Locos painted in the same green when they come in GWR or WR(BR) conditions?

Thanks for the answers

The lining is different between GWR and BR.

Very possible to swap bodies, or even parts if bodies, but whether it results in a accurate rendition is a different thing.

What is the loco / scenario your looking for ?
