T-square, who needs a T-square?
This appears to be a Mk1 version of a 2' models resin Dc top. This was from memory the first crack I had at a master and mould for a locomotive top. I also seem to recall selling a few. It's a one piece casting from a 2 part mould. Note the notches in the sideframes to fit the handrails in. the windows were just painted black. The numbers on the cab were letraset, and the writing on the side was printed out on a laser printer as a strip, glued to the side and them the colours were blocked in. Not sure if it would be good enough for anyone else, but in 1992 it was state of the casting art. having said that, all the major detail is there, even a radio aerial on the cab roof.
(So, how can your modeling be worse, send those pictures in otherwise I'll have to let the resident nutters out again;v)

And yet (for its painted on windows and paper signage) it still looks good from 2 feet....in fact, I would contend that if you hadnt let the cat out of the bag in respects to how slipshod it was, no one would have notice??
