I mentioned in another posting in another thread the kind of things I would like to see in a new Paintshed, is there one for EE?... if so, what about having the ability to dent meshes, to make locomotives looks like they have had 'a few nasty ones' (been involved in a few railyard prangs, and suffered a few bad dents and bangs alonig the way or having had the fronts of them pushed in a bit to make them look like they are ready for the scrapheap.
For those of you familiar with Adelaide, as you go out past Islington Workshops there is a yard there where there are a few of these badly deteriorated locomotives with shot holes, rust holes, bad dents and a lot of patching having been done it their day, that has also gone quite rusty, which is why these locomotives have found their way in that yard, ready for the crusher...
Another interesting look is that of partly dismantled locomotives, and though there is one NSW 48 in the DLS that has the title of 'Derelict 48'... there is not too many other locomtives in the DLS that have the same apperance, and therfore it would be even more interesting if we could create our own bashed up and badly destructed rolling stock, and plant them in our own scrap yard on our layout... most railway networks have a scrapyard somewhere with a collection of locos and rolling stock that have 'seen better days'.... I see on NR getting around Adelaide that looks like it might be ready for a visit to that yard soon, though I cannot recall which number NR it is.
It is looking rather shabby and has no number on the front of it or if there is it has been roughly painted on by some amateur loco painter... I seem to vaguley remember that it might be NR 54.
