This loco has been reworked from a Brand New Heljan class 37/0 with all of the colours resprayed or altered. With all new transfers applied, these are supplied from Fox Transfers, and Railtec. The loco has been weathered as it was in the period 1985 to 1987. It comes with protoneo etched nameplates. The weathering involves stripping the loco, performing the modifications to the livery, then the first stages of weathering go on. This is then coated with a light matt varnish, another blending coat of weathering using powders, dry brush and wash techniques are applied. This is then has air brush weathering applied with a final coat of protective varnish sprayed on. The loco is the reassembled, reglazed and finished with patches of oil textures to the parts which would have oil on them (Coil springs, around axle boxes and fuel tank filler leaks).
This loco has working headlights wired into the headlight pickup points on the end PCB's. It also has 3d printed fuel/water tanks which means it can be mounted on the wooden base without removing the tanks. Also the six underside dip switches can be accessed without tank removal.
