Heathfield
LB&SCR D1 class 0-4-2T No. 227 Heathfield: Expertly built and painted by an unknown person to a professional standard and quality, from the Meteor Models kit, proving that superb models can be produced from the Tim Hughes designed range. The lining has been expertly applied, in my opinion using transfers. The only transfers for this livery on the market that I am aware of are produced by Guilplates. Philip Preston and Gareth, the proprietors of Guilplates are both professional standard modellers. Guessing that if anyone is capable of applying lining transfers to this standard, it would be the people that produce them, one or the other could be the painter of this model. Any known history of this fabulous model would be greatly appreciated.
