Other mods so far have included removing the crew, and fitting kadee #153's which need to have about 3mm removed from the trip pin to allow reliable operation with NR class fitted with same couplers. I had to do same to the couplers on the NR's also. The Australian flags were also placed on the lower cab sides, pinched from a Baker's NR decal sheet that I have here.
Future mods will be fitting the #3 and #4 air hoses, painting the flaps on the MU receptacles red and green, and the coupler lift bars white, and weathering. |
Make sure you show us a action pic when your done. 
Cheers Adam

That looks very nice Kav442s5!
In real life, I think the DLs never got as grotty as the NRs, so weathering should be applied as light to medium?

HA!! Don't be so sure mate, I have a photo somewhere of DL46(PN) so dirty you cant see the numbers on her, absolultly filthy. The National Rail ones never got too bad althought there was a stage for about 4 months where nothing saw water...
I have recently weathered my DLs up and they have come up looking quiet nice.
Cheers, Michael 
No loco in Australia works like an NR does!!

Nice work NR109! Did you airbrush it with dye, or was it powder?
