Here is pic of one of my previous locos, which im currently modifying. The theme is a Scottish style 0-6-4T built for heavy freight and banking duties.

The loco originally started life as the Hornby terrier. The body of the terrier was removed leaving the chassis which was great to work with as it has a level frame, so there was no need to mess around raising the chassis to the running plate level. The body was constructed from plasticard sheet of varying thicknesses on the frame, sides, smokebox and boiler cladding. The boiler was a 22mm pvc plumbing pipe cut to fit over the motor.

The finishing details required making the smokebox door from modelling putty as it seemed the best choice to get the desired curve to the door; The handrails and coal rails were brass wire and the funnel and dome were purchased brass kit parts.

In its relativley current rebuilt state below
