I've just acquired another second hand Hornby open cab pannier locomotive via eBay to add to my stable of Great Western engines. It's one of the Chinese manufactured models with greater detailing and a better chassis, so will look good alongside the more detailed Bachmann 57XX models. I'll add some more detailing and weathering eventually but, for the moment, I'll keep it as it is. In the longer term, I'm going to re-paint the other open top pannier that I have in a better shade of GWR green and Great Western lettering, so that the two models are less similar. You can also get a 3D printed saddle tank body for the Hornby 0-6-0 chassis that looks really good, so I could even add one of those at some point, which would be brilliant.
