A2/3 Steady Aim help.

[simon moore]

I am building a DJH kit of the A2/3 & have decided to base it around Steady Aim because i belive it was a York engine & will fit into my layout & period etc etc. Now the Djh kit comes with various cab Sides & their are a few different detailing parts which can be fitted depending on the prototype. Now can anyone supply me with a couple of decent colour if possible photos of the loco in BR late crest livery so it gives me a firm base to work too.

Thank you

Simon.

I don't have any colour shots of 60512 but I do have a 1964 b&w picture taken at Carstairs in May 1964. 60512 was not always a York engine, because it spent its final years in Scotland

Simon,

Re the cabs in the kit. The V shape are for the A2/2 version. A2/3 all had straight side cabs

Thank you for the help gents i,ll post some photos once it starts to take shape. So far the tender has taken over 12 hours to construct but i can't do anymore until i get a smaller drill bit for the brake rigging.
