LOCOS FOR FUTURE BUILDING

I am still undecided whether to move the loco building from the blog here to a thread. But in the meantime I have some thinks that I am lining up to build in the future some are ready and others needa few more parts adding.

 

I have an early Ex LSWR/Southern S15 to do, this will no doubt be a challenge as it is from the ACE range. It now has everything needed for the build except the motor and gearbox, I am actually looking forward to this one. One it is a particular favourite of mine, and I do not get to do many Southern engines.

I have aquired a nice set of etchings for a GWR saint, loco only. I have enough bits to cobble together a 3500 gallon tender. Unless one comes available. I also need castings for the loco but a call to Scorpio Models sort them out I just need to sort out paying for them. Just after getting the loco, I managed to pick up a set of drivers for a song from a certain auction site.

As you have already seen I have a Dukedog to rebuild, I now have the tender wheels and I also bought new axles and cranks as I think the new ones are better than the D type ones.

Whilst away I aquired an Oakville LMS Jubilee. For this I managed get a set of tender wheels. I was a bit annoyed as I have just sold a set of driving wheels for one of these. So will need to start searching for some more.

As you can see it is all tender engines at the moment. I must find some more tanks to do I they are nice for a quick turn around.

Hi Pete, particularly looking forward to seeing the Dukedog build! :-)  The Blog/thread decision is a tricky one. I personally prefer the blog format, however I think you'll get more views on the thread section.

 

I'm hoping someone asks you to build them a Scorpio Queen class, I'd be very interested to read construction tips about one off those! :-)

 

Best wishes

 

Dave

A few more me straight out the box builds from good kits would be lovely.
