I was going through my boxes the other day and came across this Merchant Navy loco. I remember painting, lining and fitting new plates. These are for 35014, Nederland Line. They were produced ,I believe, for a Dutch 3mm meeting some time ago. The bonus was that they were already etched to shape so just a matter of painting the surround red and an approximation of the flag in the centre.
I have a spare chassis for this loco so will see if I can make it run through Peco pointwork. Also it will need the bogie wheels replaced, may slit the face off the old Tri-ang ones and fit into a scale wheel.
The body is a very good representation of these locos, I think the repaint has brought it to life.
