Crossing over...in two ways!

Just purchased this on Ebay for a little project I want to do whilst I don't have a permanent address:



Before I go hunting through the photos what details are missing?

Sweet! Is that a P2K model?  It looks like it has at least 95% of the details you would need - I don't even see any cab side window sunshades in any of the prototype photos of engines in that series.  One thing I notice right away though: you'll need to replace that center-mounted horn with the type that is mounted directly over the engineer's side of the cab.

Yep, P2K since they seem to come with the hoses and grabs, thought it would save me a ton in detail parts.

Looks like I may need to add the box that goes on the walkway infront of the cab on the engineer's side, seems some units have it some don't. Also well the cut lever isn't right, but that looks like a very easy fix.

shut up, Ian.  Don't encourage him! ;D

Welcome to the dark side...

You'll find that the dark side is cheaper and has more to choose from. ;D

[SirTainly]

I have way too much N to ever go over completely, but yes it seems cheaper. That loco set me back more or less the same amount as an N loco would and it's bigger! (plus is comes with details and has more space for decoders etc)

Welcome! Good choice of prototype too!

In HO there would be no excuse!

Precisely!

Maybe, still waiting for the thing to arrive, and then once I've put the gearbox and engine back in my Landrover I'll see ab out it.
