I am still beavering away on building locos for the layout when I should really be building the layout! The Black 5 is a converted Hornby model built by my late friend Colin Wrangles. I have renumbered it as one of the two fitted with double chimmneys and fitted a double chimmney. The standard front bogie is not very good so am in the process of building a Mosokits bogie (thanks to Robin Whittle for the suggestion) still needs weathering and the tender converting to a part welded one.
The Coal tank is for my LNWR period (just prior to the First World war) and is a converted Bachmann one, my good friend Tony Sheffield doing the concversion.
The 8F 48755 is a Stafford loco with Fowler tender and is a real mixture both of parts and builders. The tender (Brassmasters) and chassis (Comet) were built by my friend David Boorman, the body started out as a Hornby one which I have modified and the pipework under the cab was done by Dave Holt (in return for me painting and weathering some of his locos). I have painted and weathered the loco and tender. The loco has recently been fitted with DCC and sound.
49407 is a Brassmastsers G2 bought of ebay in EM and converted to P4, repainted and renumbered as a Stafford example.
