here are some cutoms i wanted to show

I decided to refurbish my Alice as she is a bluebell primrose and not Stepney so that's what I did 

last front

side

and back the running board only had 1 coat of black paint 

removed the Stepney buffer top thing how I removed them was pliers buffer and then the little part 

back was the same and card added to hide the gap as I removed the sandbox at the back of her as primrose does not have that

same with the top tank things and she does not have that too

and the back filled I secure it with superglue and cardboard at the back

glued buffers and shell in 

back side I also made the back of the motor shorter as to not make a bump 

painted the whole thing grey and then black except the lamps she shouldn't have them but I will keep em just cause 

back 

and side

side

painted the shell and went over a few areas 

back too

and painted the red red to match

the side

back

and now with the silver I also removed her traction tires as they were melted to the model and replaced her side rods with clean white ones and gave a new black wheel as one was blue but painted black after 4 years I removed the wheel and added new rods I also clean the front axel as to look shiny 

shiny axel and not dusty

back

bottom

I think I made this model a bit different as I want her to look like bluebell its close enough I will also show a breakdown crane coupling mod later
