The tale of two Warships.



I was never happy with the weathering I had to make a decision on how to progress. The opportunity of another cheap mainline example came my way. I decided to strip both and rebuild the new addition with a Hornby bogie and The maroon body shell will be out shopped as D821 'Greyhound' in BR Maroon with Small Yellow Warning Panels as preserved on the SVR. The blue body shell will be out shopped as D832 'Onslaught' in BR Green with Small Yellow Warning Panels as preserved by the ELR Preservation Society.

A slight change of plan D821 'Greyhound' in BR Maroon with full end Yellow Warning Panels circa 2014, D832 'Onslaught' in BR Green with no Yellow Warning Panels circa 1998, masking Small Yellow Warning Panels was impossible for my modelling skills.
