Some new motive power has been seen in Somercombe.

S15 from a DJH kit.

Still have to take the brightness off the motion and DCC it. It also needs a crew and the weathering needs finishing.

My new Bachmann 3MT tank ready to work the stopper to Salisbury. The emblem has been changed and I have given it a light weathering.

Finally for now, my Beyer-Peacock diesel electric prototype. Still more to add, but I now have all the pieces. Hymek buffer beam and fairings will be used around the front, Hymek style fuel tanks are to be made. All will give the impression of utilising existing parts to save costs. Glazing will be SEF.

The fictional Hymek prototype is interesting, but wouldn't it be twin engined & have 2 roof fans & cooler group grills, a bit like Beyer Peacocks version of a Western?

My scenario is that when the remaining Hymeks were cancelled- I understand that there were originally to have been 300- they decided to enter the diesel electric market and therefore use existing body parts.
