Heljan class 55 conversion, O gauge DP2
Heljan class 55 conversion, O gauge DP2 in weathered BR two tone green livery (reduction if bought from protoneo.com website). This loco has been reworked with brass body skin from a Brand New Heljan class 55 version 2 without the plinth 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 1965 to 1967 when it was destroyed at a crash in Thirsk.

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).
