Work has now started on my latest scratch built plasti-card loco

 

Based on a OO model I have, it is still in the early stages, but it is taking shape now. I have always thought it would be nice to have a BO BO diesel but couldn't work out how to hide the very "steam" based playmobil motor blocks, till now !

 

Here with its inspiration in OO, sat next to N gauge tracks !

Very basic but the next bit is where it starts to take shape, 4 side frames like this..

Once mounted with additional detailing

Still lots of challanges to work out yet but I'll get there :) At just under 2' long its a bit of a monster !!!

Nice work - its taking shape nicely - looking forward to see how you tackle the body now the chassis is looking good!

Wow - you're nothing if not ambitious!

 

That said, the Garrett, the shunter, and just about everything else you've crafted from Playmobil have turned out pretty well, so I have high hopes for this one, too!

John,

 

Your work rate is astounding and I am always impressed by your creations. I think this loco will look spectacular in your back garden and I have to say that your posts has definitely made me consider having a garden railway myself (although perhaps in the more distant future). I look forward to seeing how this one progresses.

thanks for taking the time to comment gents, the roof and fronts will be the fun sections as curves are always harder than straights ! But I'm sure I'll get there by hook or by crook !
