I'll have to check if these locomotives pulled freight.

They did, AFAIK they were intended for mixed service, despite their classic passenger train layout.

While it's mentioned that hey were designed as mixed traffic locos in every reference to the West Countrys and Battle of Britains, I've yet to find a pic of any of the spamcans hauling freight.

Somewhere I've got two quite large books on the classes, and I'll have a look in them,  when I've found them, that is.....

I've started the Dapol kit, the coal tender is almost finished although I did have some problems aligning it. The body of the locomotive went together extremely well. Definitely buying another one.
Just got to find the paint.

The Airfix kit has a few parts missing and a few sink holes, whereas the Dapol C085: B-o-B Fighter Pilot has gone together reasonably well. Both locomotives and their coal tenders have been built but need painting before I add the detailed parts.

I may have the missing parts from your BoB kit as I didn't use all of them for my Bullied Baltic tank.

Which parts are they?

It's okay Kit they aren't seen and hidden by the wheels.

Some photos of the builds so far,  The Airfix kit is the green plastic one,  not painted yet.

I have started painting both locomotives,  one will be red and the other in Pullman colours.
