The Class 2 BR Standard 2-6-0s, were only slightly-disguised versions of Ivatt-designed locos previously built for the LMS.
They had different boiler fittings and cabs than the LMS locos, and featured filled-in drop-down sections
of the running plate ahead of the cylinders. No.78029, seen here, was built
from a DJH kit.
No.82020 here has a Bachmann body, weathered at the factory, so when asked to
build a new chassis for it, naturally the chassis and wheels had to be weathered
to match. At the time of construction, no chassis kit was available for
this model, so I was asked to adapt a Comet 76XXX 'Mogul' chassis kit to fit.
