Dapol E6001
Here's a bit of an oddity I bought on (a relatively) expensive whim. Former Dapol 73005 repainted into early blue as E6001. So the JA body is true to prototype.
However, the paint job is decent but patchy (hand brushed from the looks of it), and I can't find any record of this JA ever being in this livery. From what I can tell, E6001 was born green and then went into Rail Blue, and it was only the JBs that wore this livery.
So, yes, a bit of a non-prototypical ugly duckling but somehow I rather like it. Rule 1 in full effect.
