Well they are closest to what i could find its really difficult to get a Hornby BR class 28 it costs about £70-£80 and i made Stanley to the closest i could

Silverfox Models makes a kit of the BR Class 28. You can even commission them to customize the model how you want it.
A kit alone is £43.50
A finished kit is £75.00
Lastly, a RTR model is £135.00
It's expensive, but it's certainly worth the result visually and I hear they run well. Right now you might as well use that diesel to make a different new fan character. Would be much more interesting than a "BoCo" of the wrong class.  :P

No proper RTR models exist of Stanleys class, so you would have to kitbuild or bash one yourself, much like Dan did, but his was a scratchbuild with plasticard.

Quality is better than quantity.  ;)

That's like trying to tell the difference between Mavis and Diesel.

Hay, when I was five I thought Percy was henery, and balgy was Bertie :P But to me, BoCo looks like it needs a lighter coat of fresh paint, but Stanly is fantastic, no wait, beter than fantastic, its supperb, awasome, its wicked, its beautiful ;). By he way, whats your next plans Shiney red dude :)
