Polly 0-6-0 Conversion PT. 1
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosOnto the next project, a small loco. This is something I bought t'other week.
It's a Triang Polly/Nellie thingy.
It runs ok, but it would need new wheels as the flanges are far too deep.
The inspiration for this conversion was a picture posted by Corbs of his Polly on a 0-6-0 chassis. I happen to have an Electrotren 0-6-0 that I haven't done anything with.
It has a very nice chassis.
That is the right size to for Polly.
A trial fit shows it will fit, but the front steps are in the way.
So I removed them.
The new chassis allows the body to be lower, with the buffers at the correct height.
I reckon this will make a nice shunting loco, with a bit of detailing.

Polly 0-6-0 Conversion PT. 2
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosThanks for your comments, I shall try not to mess it up.
Details.
I made a backhead for the firebox, it will be positioned in the cab above the motor.
I used part of a CD tub spindle as this was the right diameter, plus some plastic card.
To fix the front cab windows I used some plastic card cut like this.
To get the rough shape I held it inside the cab and marked it with a scalpel through the hole.
Fitted into the opening.
As the motor doesn't fill the cab I cut out the doors, giving a more open and older look.
I've also removed the molded handrails, they will be replaced with proper ones.
Looking into the cab you can see the the top of the firebox glued in place.
Lots more to do!

Polly 0-6-0 Conversion PT. 3
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosSome more things done. The openings in the front of the cab have been filled and cleaned up.
After some black paint.
Inside the cab I've made a back and floor (not fixed in place yet).
At the back I've filled the hole that was for the chassis screw, and repaired some damage to the buffer beam. The model must have been dropped.
And more at the front.
-
Polly 0-6-0 Conversion PT. 4
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosThis is where things get a bit heavy, it's time for Polly to put on some weight.
First the bunker.
I then glued the cab floor in place.
There are three holes under the bunker to let any fumes out. The round thing at the front of the floor is from the Electrotren body and matches a hole in the chassis so they can be screwed together.
More lead has been added inside the tanks.
And yet more lead at the front, to balance out the bunker.
The body now weighs 100g.

P
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosSome more bits added to the body. At the back are some etched windows from Mainly Trains.
Also lamp irons, front and rear, from some micro-strip inserted into holes drilled into the buffer beam tops.
I've also cut out the holes for the couplings
At the front are handrails using Gibson knobs.
The brass safety valve casting is a leftover from the Tilbury tank kit currently on my kitbuilding workbench topic.
Painting next.

Add these
'Main line' company locos sold into industrial or light railway serviceYou can also add the GSWR 0-6-0T 5 class.
- 16378 was sold to sold to Hatfield Colliery, South Yorkshire in 04/1934 after withdrawal and scrapped after 1954,
- 16379 sold to Llay Main Colliery, Denbighshire after withdrawal in 04/1934 now preserved
and also
The G&SWR 45 Class 0-6-2 tanks, 4 were sold out of service into industrial use
16410 after withdrawal in Nov 1936 was sold to Robert McAlpine & Sons as no.80
16403 after withdrawal in Nov 1936 was sold to Robert McAlpine & Sons as no..81
16404 after withdrawal in Feb 1937 sold to Ashington Coal Company no.1

Sadly none of these survived to preservation, and were a nice class, sadly no kits exist of this one as Mercian Models withdrew their kit.

Cool Brake Vans
Nile's Mostly Freelance Bodging Bench - Pre-Grouping LocosIt's good to see how adding a few details to a basic model can upgrade it to a much better model.
There are some other brake vans out there on the second hand circuit that are good candidates for this sort of
upgrade treatment. For instance the Graham Farish 00 van and the even older Tri-ang.
L/H the Tri-ang with lowered roof. Use one with a metal chassis it's the right height compared to the plastic chassis ones.
R/H Hornby body on a chassis made of three sections of Airfix mineral wagon kits.
It's based on a SECR six wheeler drawings of which where in some old Railway Modeler.
