Why are both engines the wrong class? :P
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. ;)
Bo-Co looks about right to me. then again, I'm not the kind of person who can tell a bee from a yellow jacket. :P

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 :)
Later
reminds me when i thought Percy was a girl and Mavis a boy! :o
my neighbor thought Rheneas was a girl, we used to fight over it all the time. :D
Hmmm well i have got quite a few projects in the works at the moment and some in the planning stages i have planned:
Murdoch
Arthur
Harvey
And i am working on:
Molly
and a new mystery engine ;)
sound like you got some work in front of ya ;) can't wait to see them if you ever do them.
Thanks ;) i will post a photo of Molly when i finish her she should be easy seeing as i can use my old hornby Edward chassis and mount on the trackmaster body :D
