LNWR18901910 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) As you guessed from the title of this post, I have been working on another Pre-Grouping Steam Locomotive - the Robinson O4 in its GCR days as the 8K Class! Now, I now there already exists a model in its Great Central livery already, but I am enjoying the challenge. What better choice of engine from said-company of said-era to accomapny another potential purchase, the Bachmann D11 in GCR days as well as GCR coaching stock! I'll be planning on a GCR brake van to go with the freight rolling stock of the day sometime in the future to go with my collection of Pre-Grouping Trains (I know I only focus on stuff from 1890 to 1910, but I have been making some exceptions and am adding in more Pre-Grouping stock up to 1920 so maybe I could change my username to LNWR18901920 or something like that). Expect pictures soon! Edited September 3, 2019 by LNWR18901910 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Farrell Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Looking forward to following this. It is something I have been meaning to do with my Bachmann LNER version. I want mine in more or less original condition (I model 1912/13) so virtually new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect pictures soon! Don't forget the D11s were all built in the 1920s apart from the first one which was completed in December 1919. So you may have to extend your upper limit a bit.

TT3 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Took ages to work oout what you did to the tender on butler henderson to make it sit alot better than the supplied one. I shamelessly borrowed the idea with a spare triang L1 chassis to match the loco chassis, now it all sits a bit more level. So many thanks for posting the pictures. Still alot of work to do on mine but an enjoyable evening and more productive than rubbish TV. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
33C Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Tender chassis is a slimmed down Triang Princess chassis that slots straight in so, your very close! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT3 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Ah very good, I will have a rummage around as I might have one in the bits box that can used instead of more carving up this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
