I've been told the prototype was originally green and it was the Leighton buzzard that painted it yellow but I may have been told wrong. Thank you for your kind comments. It's a damn good loco which does get a bit of a hammering on my line.
Well worth the time and money and highly recommended

This is my caravan which I bought second hand, ready built and working. Unfortunately it looked as though the builder painted it using a toilet brush so it had to be stripped to bare metal, partially rebuilt and re-painted. I also added a centre off, forward/reverse switch, which was a tight fit in such a cramped space.
It is a great little workhorse and keeps on going.
I can't recall the original colour but I'm sure it was neither green or yellow. I like it brown, just to be different!

The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Looks great in brown I have one of those too, but I think the motor burnt out, will have to dig it out for a tinker to get it running again
