Yes, but that is the easy bit, I would guess that 3D filament or resin printing could produce the racking, though as I have never attempted to do this, I would not offer you any guarantees.

Failing that, put me down for something London Transport. There are 2 restrictions: 1. It must fit into a 1956 or 57 scenario. (I have locos with both "cycling lion" & "ferret & dartboard" crests, so it cannot be earlier than 1956 &, I guess, not much later.) 2. It must be on DLS. The closest thing I can find is the SR L1, which is not exactly SECR, but almost. Quote Harry Wainwright had built two useful and attractive 4-4-0 classes for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway between 1902 and 1908; the D class and the E class, and had completed designs for a larger L class at the time of his retirement at the end of 1913. However, by 1918 they were beginning to struggle with the heaviest express trains. Wainwright's successor, Richard Maunsell, therefore rebuilt several examples of the D and E classes immediately before the grouping of the SECR with other railways to form the Southern Railway in 1923. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR_L1_class (I'm pretty sure, you knew that; but I didn't.) Or maybe the N class - genuine SECR, but a mogul, not a 4-4-0... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamsRadial Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) The Rother Valley Railway did something similar with their Hurst Nelson 4-wheelers, they joined them together in pairs on a new underframe and created bogie carriages. So there's plenty of precedence for what Annie's doing to the locomotives. It's not so different from getting a whitemetal body kit and stuffing it over a Triang Lord of the Isles chassis, come to think of it.

I positioned the new attachment points for those wheelsets to three decimal places. I might do strange and unusual things with my locomotives, but they are done with care and precision. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Annie Posted October 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2020 Those who study the state of grumpiness to higher levels may attain a state of 'no-grump' where one's inner potential to become grumpy it so profoundly developed that one's mere presence is sufficient to induce fear and respect in others without needing to speak a single word or commit to any course of action. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake The Rat Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 In other words, being the impersonation of grumpiness without having to act grumpily? That's a long way to go for me, but I'm working on it... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Very helpful for maintaining a 2 metre social distancing zone) I am the fortunate owner of a genuine vintage Cooper's handcrafted walking stick Mr Hroth. Very stoutly made and guaranteed to be perfect for heavy duty belabouring. With a two metre's reach when held with a determined grip it is excellent for reminding others of the need to maintain social distancing. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'In the 70s television series, 'Kung Fu'. Grasshopper was a nickname given to a young Shaolin monk (Kwai Chang Caine played by the late David Carradine ) tutored by an older, wiser monk, Master Po .' Now I'm really showing my age by referring to a 1970s television series. In effect the meaning is, “I am the master and you are the student.” Possibly something only people of my generation would remember and understand.
