L1 renumbers and repaints
So back at the end of last year I played around with the L1 models by Dave Robinson to create 67705 from 67750 for an activity I was working on, set in 1960 when the electrification conversion was underway on the GEML. Most of these engines were withdrawn by the end of 1960, but a few continued on up to 1963.
Two of the examples pictured below are 67716 (allocated to Stratford from 1959 to 1962) in heavily weathered condition - as per this image: https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=165802&category_id=67&page=10
Followed by 67751 (as allocated to Gorton from 1957 to 1961) using this image as a reference - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yzo-KNK9G6Y/UQ7sph9h3FI/AAAAAAAABQw/CC9hK0d-5vY/s1600/CIMG5937_1.png
More examples are being created for MidEastCoast.
If anyone has any images to share, particularly in colour, I'd really appreciate it so I can look into BR early crest versions, as well as ex LNER Green versions. Ideally looking for a time period between 1957 and 1963. (67709 is a test subject, but photo references reveal it was in a similar condition to 67716 at the time).
