Many years ago I got a Hornby 14xx Auto Tank which was a rebuild of the old Airfix GMR model, I had planned to backdate it to a 48xx Auto Tank which would have required a bit of surgery and a repaint to get it to that state. Recently DJ Models announced that they were doing an exclusive run for Hattons of the different variants of this locomotive including the 48xx, 58xx and 14xx. I already have a 64xx Auto Tank that I am in the process of backdating to late 1930's condition, I have no need for another Auto Tank as I only have one Autocoach. I decided to go for something more versatile as a branchline loco and opted for the 58xx variant which was quite a common sight for around the area that I would like to model.
This photo was 90% model and 10% me screwing around with lights and a fan. I shot this with a Canon 580EX speedlight with a shoot-through umbrella slightly left and in front of model camera left and high. I used a reflector for fill, aimed up from the floor. I had two bare Canon 550EXs behind model right and left. (The one on the left had a yellow gel on it.
