Hi Charlie,
Recently added this model in the middle, as you can see its missing the casting detail in front of the engine. Model does look like it had labels in the past and its in fairly good condition, worth looking out for on other models I think.

Looks like there may have been three different castings. I'll have a gander at my example and see which it might be.
