4mm Black Hawthorn
One of my own projects, for my next layout.
It is the High Level kit of a Black Hawthorn 0-4-0ST. I got the bulk of the bodywork done, yesterday, but that's always the easy part, isn't it?
This kit is based on Wellington (former Holwell No.3) I am going to fit disc wheels, as on Bauxite No.2, in the NRM. Although Bauxite appears to be a slightly smaller loco I just like to be different. It will also have block buffers as these will be neccesary on the new layout, where rolling stock will be a mixture of standard RCH wagons and inside-framed dumb-buffered internal use wagons.The great thing about this loco is that the real Wellington was built in the 1870s and had an almost 100 year working life before preservation, so I can use it on my more modern layouts too.
