Description Becoming somewhat of a standard theme, I've quickly experimented with a 3D-printed variant on my card kits of Bulleid's 'Leader' Class.  Ultimately to be sold very much a scratch aid (although hopefully not all that difficult), it's intended to go on a Poole-era Grafar Class 47 with the chassis block top/bogies/couplings suitably amended. As for the next projects, I have some rather special ideas my my sleeve for eventual sale...
Opinions as ever welcome.

Looks neat, I've always been a fan of Bulleid locos. As for the last part of the description - I guess you could say you have some ideas up your sleeve valve

To design, yes but hopefully now not to assemble!

It can be very effective; my previous models came out superbly.
