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!

Boxfile on a Budget - Phase 2
OliverRowley replied to Andrew D's topic in Boxfiles, Micro layouts & Dioramas
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 -

Love it man! The loco bashes are amazing! Love your J15 derivatives and the Adams loco is epic -

Enjoying the read- taking notes for a future layout! Olly -
Planet Industrials - Kerr Stuart Victory RTR in OO...
OliverRowley replied to James Hilton's topic in Planet Industrials
Looks class! How did you make the dumb buffers? -
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

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

OliverRowley started following Colliery/Light Railway Fictional Tender Loco
-
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.

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 -

Looks brilliant! Amazing what a new pair of buffer beams and a few extra details could do to change the look of a model! -

Wow sounds great! Loving the rebuilds, they look wonderful! Any chance of seeing any other members of the fleet? Ol
