Ruston 48DL in 009: primed...
I managed to get a coat of Halfords primer on the Ruston today and it has been run in - I've re-wired the pickups as my first effort had it running the opposite way to the rest of my stuff!
In terms of colours I think it will be standard black chassis and green body for this one - but it runs so well I may well try and model an earlier example at some point in the future. The only variation I made to this kit was to replace the fold up square lip for the coupling with some 0.7mm wire in the weight blocks buffer beams to act as a pin for standard 009 loops. More soon...
Nice work James - tempted to build one myself but I have to justify it on my layout. Lyntonstation.blogspot.co.uk
