Understandably people are now looking into alternate liveries for the
Class 20. Though Heljan do not intend doing this themselves we can undertake
limited alterations to finish one of their models in any livery. Tower
Models received a number of commissions to alter the "as supplied" Class
20 into some alternative liveries. As can be seen from the photographs
the fronts have been modified to incorperate the elephants trunk being
fitted where necessary. The models are then repainted, lettered and
lined into Railfreight Red stripe, triple grey Railfreight or similar
liveries in both clean and weathered finishes.. It should be noted that
no attempt is made to alter radiators or fuel tanks on the Heljan locomotive.
These models are designed to be a well finished approximation that captures
the appearance of the locomotive rather than an exact scale model. However,
at an all up price of £585.00 for a clean finish and £610.00 for a weathered
version they are excellent value for money. A few models are available
off the shelf but if a particular number or named version appeals to
you it can be completed to order. This will involve a delay of upto
a couple of months.
We can also number and weathered your standard Heljan Class 20. Simple
numbering on the standard locomotive costs an additional £25.00.
Numbering and weathering costs an additional £50.00.
