Class 29
From the Shenston Road fleet is D6122, a North British Class 21 captured at Hornsey Road depot.
D6122 and D6110 on test together after the simple conversion. The Dapol model as it stands
requires nothing more than a bit of light weathering to complete. The supplied headcode
discs are somewhat chunky, so Shawplan etched replacements have been added instead.
North British Class 29 6112 in 1968/69 livery. An odd choice by Hornby for a r-t-r model given
the limited range and working life of the prototypes. The bodyshell has a good basic shape, but
needs quite a lot of work on windows and detailing to capture the character of the original.
D6121 was new to Ipswich shed in the livery modelled just a few months before the end of the
1950s, but within less than a year had been sent north to the Scottish Region.
6129 had been repainted blue, but again is heavily workstained.
