Last 5 A's

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

I believe that all As in N&W service ran without turret covers.
BLI have chosen in their present release, to model the 1218 in its reborn
excursion style.
On my BLI A I've chopped off the cover and added the pipework/valves, BLI
ought to have a go if their doing non 1218 models.
Otherwise a retrofit kit by Bowser ? would need the parts + all those listed
below
Then all you need is courage, razor saws, files and filler...............
