It had donated its low-hour power unit to 50007 in December 1991, after Sir Edward Elgar was sidelined with a generator flashover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaira-based 50046 had been repainted in large logo livery following refurbishment at Doncaster in 1983, later receiving a black roof at the depot due to the tendency of EE exhausts to quickly stain standard grey. A full repaint followed in May 1987, though red buffer beams were notably omitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough allocated to multiple sectors in its later years, 50046 was withdrawn in March 1992. Its legacy lives on—both cabs survive today, the No.1 end with owner Gary Hardings in Cornwall, and the No.2 end at the Plym Valley Railway in Devon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the success of the first production run, Accurascale is proud to present the second run of its OO gauge Class 50s, driven by sustained customer demand.
