Content Manager lists the GWR livery versions K 2:116296:72172:1 / 2 - (Skipper 1945) as now being Obsolete. Unfortunately, while the same loco is still available in a very presentable BR livery - (K 2:116296:72172:5), I'm looking for the 1920/30's GWR livery versions for a WIP.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks

I didn't think a GWR liveried version had ever been produced so I downloaded the original, obsolete kuid and it's still in BR late crest so unless you're happy to reskin it I don't think there's one on the DLS. There may be others out there somewhere by a third party but I'm afraid I don't remember seeing any.

Cheers,

PLP

There is one available at a nominal cost at PaulzTrainz (link below):


However, whether you are happy with it or not becomes rather subjective. Regards. Colin.

George is still around although not very active these days. It might be worth talking to him.

Thank you both for getting back to me. It's much as I thought and I share your views. As I've no reskinning skills I think I may have a word with some more talented contacts.

For your own use you don't need permission but it would be a nice addition to have.

I think a reskin of this model should be possible if George consents. I think the main impediment though is that the model is a BR version with a numberplate on the smokebox door. This could be blanked out on a GW version but could leave a remnant behind (unless it's a flat plane).
