Oh come on, prototype fidelity please! Surely everyone knows that, Hornby and preservation aberrations notwithstanding, LMS Standard 3F 0-6-0Ts* were never red, always unlined black! *Sorry, even in jest I can't bring myself to refer to them as jinties. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's something to look forward to. I have a SiL with a taste for kitsch, and most years she finds an abomination of this sort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Curiously, the artist has decided on a 75F shed plate. Presumably, therefore, it's a Tunbridge Wells West loco. Any suggestions as to what this was used for between there and Three Bridges? (It actually suggests that the front end is based on a photo taken when the Spa Valley had a 3F on loan) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia NSE Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'd forgotten about my minor contribution to this thread. The J72 has made its way to the Weald of Kent Railway's Tovil works ready to be shortened. I also found four of these in a box of random stuff and thought they could be used as short tenders for a future bash... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Surprise Gift! Potential feedstock. I have just had the Oxford N7 belpaire boilered version apart (description in the Oxford Rail section) and there within the section concealed by the diecast side tanks, is representation of the boiler and firebox, which is completely concealed on the assembled model. Restore it to the mechanism, and instantly there you have the makings of a very small 0-6-0 loco of no known prototype, halfway to a Swedeystein... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty awesome and marvellous tank engine. I'd see it working at a dockyard or taking a local passenger or freight train along a branch line. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockershovel Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Rummaging through some of the old RMs at the club, I find an article describing “motorising the Kitmaster Pug” dating from 1959, and an OOn3 loco built from a pug body on a Triang TT 0-6-0 chassis from the same year. In ANOTHER first, it includes tram skirts... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNWR18901910 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I've just ordered a Hornby 14xx body and Terrier chassis - I am using these to create a freelance 0-6-0 tank engine. I once drew up plans for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
