I should have lots of pics of the real thing if that's what you need.

Does that mean you've got 2 of the locos I want, class 89 and 47475?

I have done this conversion, unfortunately I don't have pics, because the HST was sold on eBay a while ago. It was quite an easy job, using masking tape to get a straight line, to aid in the cutting of the front valance!

Do you have any pics of the 89 on here, don't think I've seen any and of course probably can't search 89.

IIRC TPM do a conversion kit for the HST DVTs.

Hi Mike I was lucky enough to pic up 2 kits for £3

simonprelude · January 23, 2014, 04:36:37 PM
