  1. Here's mine! Hopefully it shows an elderly coach that has been sold off to a light railway where it is kept outside and isn't cared for. It has had the ends painted, weathering, passengers, new decals and even new buffers!
  2. Great stuff man! Love the phase 1 (and the videos too), very much looking forward to phase 2! Very inspirational and has spurred me on to finish mine! A mistake I made with mine I believe was trying to make too much from it. It has 2 fiddle yards and in theory 2 sides to view from, but I have found the 'complexity' (well or me anyways) and life has killed my urge to model- until now! Thanks again Ol
  3. Love it man! The loco bashes are amazing! Love your J15 derivatives and the Adams loco is epic
  4. Thank yous so much for the input! I am going to add overlays onto the cabsides, currently mocking them up so will post when I am happy. Then Philly tenders look mega! Much appreciated all
  5. Enjoying the read- taking notes for a future layout! Olly
  6. Don't sweat it dude! I agree and if I'm honest I was tempted by its cheap price and the fact it had been stretched to fit a chassis too big for it- thus giving me a loco with a more generic appearance. At least that was the first thinking! Noted! Thanks on reflection the B12 tender has better proportions! I think I'll press on, but alter the backstory to have it as a later built loco just to suit what I have! My ear is still to the ground for cheap for small tender locos that would better suit the initial brief! Thanks Olly
  7. Out to the shed I went, to trim the cabsides down to allow me to change the profile and give it a different appearance. I also cut the roof in half too. Leaving me very roughly with this: Whilst in there I also found a Mainline BR Standard tender, which I love the shape of and the rivet detailing. However, the taller part wouldn't suit my needs so I trimmed it giving me this: Together they create this: A very rough and scruffy start! If you have any ideas for this project let me know! Ol
  8. Hello all, Currently I am working on a tender loco for my colliery light railway. Some of my big inspirations are: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/profile/898-corbs/- Corbs built a Lambton style 0-6-0 https://www.lner.info/locos/J/j11.ph- A small tender loco built around the turn of the century http://www.mining-memorabilia.co.uk/The_Harton_Coal_Company_And_Marsden_Railway.htm- Harton Colliery had multiple 0-6-0 tender locos that ran both coal and passenger working on the colliery railway. I have based some of my own collieries workings based on this! In short, I want to build a tender loco for my own colliery. A loco that was built by a contracted builder for a pre-grouping company before being passed to an auctioneers who then sold it to my colliery. My first job was to source a body- this entailed searching ebay and shops until I found a whitemetal body for (ironically) a J11 altered to suit a generic 0-6-0 chassis. I then had a nosey around my spares to find a possible tender, until I had this.
  9. Just seen this layout at the Warrington Exhibition- great to see such an inspirational layout in person!
  10. Here's mine! Very much a like others on here, but I'm quite happy with it so far- it'll need touching up when I get round to it. Ol
  11. Looks brilliant! Amazing what a new pair of buffer beams and a few extra details could do to change the look of a model!
  12. Wow sounds great! Loving the rebuilds, they look wonderful! Any chance of seeing any other members of the fleet? Ol
