DalaGStanator's Customs, Mods and Experiments

Next up is a shunter based on a very well known class, which has been available in both Plarail and TrackMaster - a British Rail Class 08. For the proportions, I looked at a single image of the RC Diesel (which also has two batteries on top while keeping the same shape as other variants). They matched up almost perfectly, albeit with my typical asymmetry on one side. That, and the cab also has an unwanted dip towards the front. I initially didn't know what livery to use for it, until I found an image of no. 08590 in [urlcrimson and dark blue (most likely edited). My initial mixture gave me a bluish purple that looked too similar to Splatter's, so I added orange to the pink and ended up with this colour. If/when I'll make any of the Class 08s from T&F, they should look even more similar to their commercial variants.



I wanted my third shell for the chassis to be a main line electric, only to end up scrapping two designs and going with this. Any electrics with pantographs will be too tall for most tunnels/risers to make them look better.
