Hi everyone, im new member to RMweb. One of my friends here on RMweb, Tomtank suggested that I show you all the locomotives that I have built.

Here is my latest loco, River Clyde. This is a freelance 2-6-0 based on the style of Scottish locomotives of around 1910/1920 built to run on my fictional railway, which I have called the Grand Northern & Carlisle Railway.

The loco started life as the Bachmann Junior 0-6-0ST "Digby" and the remains of my Hornby GWR 28xx 2-8-0, which was beyond repair. I first started by removing the body of Digby leaving just the chassis.

At the time I was considering using the same coupling rods used on Digby as the connecting rods with the 28xx cylinders and crosshead, however due to clearance issues I changed it to scratchbuilt cylinders and connecting rods from the Bachmann Junior 0-4-0ST.

As this is a Scottish loco, I have used Drummond funnel and dome as well as a McIntosh style smokebox.

The loco is constructed mainly with plasticard, brass, moddeling putty and polystyrene foam.

What do you think of my work? Would like to hear any of your comments regarding my work and would welcome any advice that could make my work better.
