Tom F Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 A few commissions fresh off the workbench! Firstly, the ever faithful Jinty (Bachmann 4mm). Using a client's photo as reference, I fabricated a small shunters pole which had been left on the running plate. Secondly, a Bachmann 4F, which had been rather poorly factory weathered, now finished to something a little more realistic. 13 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom F Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 What started life as a good old Hornby 'Smokey Joe' now resembles something a little more akin, to a working Caledonian Pug. My client sent me several photos to work from ( a few of which were in colour which is always useful). Some interesting features were the limescale streaks down the back of the tank, the patches of rust around the springs and rods, and the painted 3 link coupling. Another enjoyable commission finished. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom also weathered a couple of Hymeks and a Class 20 for me and they are all utterly superb. All are converted to P4 and will run on 'Callow Lane' (and the Hymeks also on Re6/6's 'Parkend Marsh Sidings' layout, so here they are, each in turn, doing a somewhat precarious balancing act on my OO layout 'Bethesda Sidings': Thank you, Tom, what really lovely work. 17 1 1 2 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Thank you Keith! The Grange had been weathered to a less than satisfactory standard before hand, so I'm glad I was able to turn it around. Today I finished this Hornby A2/2, not the best for quality control I'd say. It captures the prototype well though. I certainly have a soft spot for Thompson's ugly ducklings! 12 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom F Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Here is one of several locos I'm currently working on for a client. All locos are based around those working in the Camden area in the 1960s. There is something about a Duchess that just says power! 8 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
