Someone might have one in a drawer somewhere. Anyway, even with the wrong cab it'll probably be more accurate than the 1:29 version on an LGB chassis I'm currently sketching out for the garden!sleepyriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02300955758007741957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452206669164906661.post-48791546536386016262009-07-10T14:29:12.783-07:002009-07-10T14:29:12.783-07:00I see the difference.

This page www.brdw.co.uk/class04-xxx.html shows both - D2203 was a skirted machine. Another good one would be the skirted 0-4-0 Hunslets used at Ipswich docks, and as modelled in resin by Silver Fox.<br /><br />Jimsleepyriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02300955758007741957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452206669164906661.post-29388319500282260912009-07-07T14:03:49.476-07:002009-07-07T14:03:49.476-07:00As an impressionable, myopic youngster, I saw an a...As an impressionable, myopic youngster, I saw an article in the Railway Modeller about the Y6 and I was pretty fascinated.
