    Here is the Bachmann WD austerity 2-8-0 repainted in a dark olive drab which I think in this scale looks very good I tried a bronze green as applied to UK vehicles during WW2 and found it looked to dark will be adding a cab number and WD with a broad arrow on to the tender but it's slowly getting there

    So continuing my work on east coast trains and locomotives during WW2 I found this it's a WD 2-8-0 with full armour platting added for work in hostel areas watch this space as when I get a 2ND WD I'll be building one as I don't think it's been done yet I could be wrong

    The drama I'm going to have is this is the only picture and detail I've found on the subject so could well be a bit of artistic license but I'm sure it will come out well just need a cheap 2-8-0 now to build it around
