I took the plunge.
It's not strictly the right W4 as there were a few differences but we had a go.
I made a new back for him out of some brass sheet. There was a bit of a "here goes" moment as i cut the windows and the extra piece that the handbrake fits in to from the original Hornby cab back.
Ideally the cab should be level with the buffer beam but then the roof would have been to short, i slight compromise but it has made the doorway a bit narrow. I did cut cut a small slither out of the cab side. Another "here goes" moment.
So, will just show the photo's and let you decide.
I am waiting for the name plates to arrive and all should be good.
