First look at Footplate models exclusive Dapol Hawthorn Leslie Marston Thompson & Evershed LTD No3

[@dh9033]

Good to see it running, thanks for sharing. I see you've added driver and fireman which really brings a loco to life.

[@benforster6254]

Thanks mate. Yeah with an open cab it really does need a crew inside. like you said it really brings the model to life. Ive still got things i want to add to it like a lamp and fire irons. As i volunteer at the Foxfield Railway i work very close with the engine in real life so its nice to have a miniature version.

Not fussed on the mdf and plastic bits. Great little loco.

[@benforster6254]

thanks mate great to have some feedback.

[@alan_mythicalgnome]

A very impressive,attractive loco.

[@benforster6254]

@@alan_mythicalgnome yes it is. better than the w4 in my opinion

[@alan_mythicalgnome]

I like the contrast with the black and red. It reminds me of the black Rapido Hunslet. I was so impressed with those that I bought all six. I could be tempted to do the same with these.

[@benforster6254]

@@alan_mythicalgnome Yes ive got Primrose No2 in the black with red lining and these two make a good pair. I like the added bit of yellow lining too. its not everywhere but it makes the model pop a bit more
