GWR 28XX to 2884 Conversion Cab - WW2

thingiverse

For Hornby tender-driven Churchward 28XX class, a conversion kit to Collett 2884-class. Don't pretend this is 100%, designed for FDM so slightly overscale features to ensure print, dimensions taken where possible from drawings but open to intepretation, remember this is a standard hornby ringfield powered model on OO, not a finescale P4 / EM model. Modelled with the plated over cab sides as seen during WW2 for cost and glare reduction to reduce visibility to enemy aircraft, and also the condition that one of the surviving 2884-Class locos '2885' was displayed at Birmingham Moor Street in the 2000s before being taken into restoration at Tyseley Loco Works. Again, it's not rivet perfect, it's a bit of fun to convert a semi-accurate model into another semi-accurate model.
