8 Coupled

I've been playing around with 2-8-0's. I took some pictures of the events.

First up is an 8f, from Kettering shed. It's a modified Hornby, but 46444 built it, so you'll have to ask him for details. Its got DCC sound, which I rather like, and I've been experimenting with adding sound to Diddington, but retaining the option of DC control for the locos which aren't sound fitted, and never will be due to cost.

Next is a WD 2-8-0. This should be from March shed, but I'm not sure if the number's right. Its a straight Bachmann model, weathered. The only detailing is the addition of a 247 developments fire iron rack on the tender, steps on the tender bufferbeam, and the addition of the bar linking the reversing gear at footplate level.

Cheers for now

90045 was never allocated to March, as far as I know. Give me a date and I'll tell you which ones were there. And I presume you've strengthened quite a number of bridges to allow an 8F to access your part of the world ;)
