RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted June 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2017 How about my backdating of a Hornby Caley Pug. Based very loosly on "Kelton Fell" as preservered by the Scotish Railway Preservation Society. I also made a tender to go with it as I wanted something different from all those "pcoket rockets". I hadn't spotted this previously but here is your prototype or something a lot like it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted July 16, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2017 Please can you let me know the positions/measurements of where you have made the cuts to the Plymouth bodywork? You've got the proportions just right, I'm itching to start having a go at my Plymouths. I've had a go at a Lima Plymouth body this weekend. Not attacked the cab properly yet but 3mm wide strips of plastic card either side of the radiator, removing the headlight, filling and sanding is producing the look I have in mind. Can't seem to add an image here at the moment but I've updated my blog with the details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockershovel Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) As a bonus to pugbashers everywhere, a recent google search "Stony Stratford Tramway" turned up an actual prototype for that ubiquitous OO9 apocrypha, the skirted tramway 0-4-0ST!

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted August 15, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2017 You mean like this little fella? A work in progress, entirely freelance.IMG_2326.JPGIMG_2324.JPGIMG_2325.JPG I've nearly finished mine. Very similar but without the new buffer beams, I just cut 5mm sections off front and rear and another 5mm section out of the cab through the side windows. I still need to crop the chassis to fit and start painting. The smaller radiator area at the front definitely looks better too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted October 12, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've stumbled across a few new ones, both featured on RMWeb Stratford 47 made this detailed saddle tank. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/38422-detailing-Bachmann-junior-locos/page-2 and this neat diesel shunter Dan Griffin made this rather lovely 0-6-0ST using the same base model, with a 'Stuart' smokebox and Hornby Shire cylinders and motion. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/10762-rodney-a-plonker-no-longer/ 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bidders clearly also think so as it's up to 42 quid with some time yet to go. Not bad going given its toy antecedents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestTom Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Progress on my Anglicised Lima Plymouth: Quite a lot still to do but getting there. I will feel better once the chassis is shortened to suit. I like this a lot. I'm currently working on a low-budget layout, just for a bit of fun, and one of the locomotives is a Lima shunter. I bought it because it's basically about the cheapest locomotive you can get that isn't utterly beyond redemption, and now I'm thinking maybe a modification like this would lift it up a little. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

detheridge Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, here are a few pics from the infamous 'Bash a Pug' competition held at the 009 AGM way back in the mid noughties (I think 2005?), plus a few others. The first is an extraordinary 00 Garratt based bash that was listed on Ebay some years ago. Then, two of Mick Thornton's famous conversions. Next, the candidates for the 009 competition, with the North Egyptian Light Railway Pugbash being the winner. The last pic is one of a full size Pugbash, showing that there nearly is a prototype for everything. Enjoy!
