Commission: Barclays from two stables…
Sometimes the Planet Industrials adventure seems like it was in another life, but echoes continue to filter through today and I’m proud of what we achieved. In the same breath, the conversion kits continue to allow modellers to represent a wider range of industrial locomotives… This pair of Barclay’s are from two stables! The open cabbed a Hatton's example in a small box and the Pi cab conversion the Accurascale re-release in a humoungous box. Other than blackened tyres on the wheels (a great visual improvement) I detect no difference in quality. This pair of models showcase both the quality of the original Planet Industrials cab conversion (No.22) and just now neat I can kit-bash / scratchbuild on the other (No.50). Both are finished with custom decals I designed and had printed, based upon prototypes I have built previsiouly. The results show just what is possible - and if you have a different prototype in mind, I’m almost certainly able to help - so do get in touch. On board ...
