Another Heljan Class 15 - D8216 at rest in the stabling sidings at Hornsey Road depot. The
3-link coupling is used for multiple working, rather than relying on the supplied screw link.

Another view of D8229 by Pete Johnson - "Not my favourite material to work with, but only
one small part got melted by mistake! The more I did, the easier it seemed to get".

The first job involved removing the cab, so that the glaringly bright coloured plastic bulkhead
could be painted a darker colour, and a driver / second man fitted in place. There is an issue
regarding the sandboxes as supplied in the detailing pack, as they do not fit without fouling
the bufferbeam. The bogie sideframes have been cut back to the small rivet (about 3mm), so that
they can be fitted and allow the bogie to swing and pivot.
