pat141 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I bought two cast resin model engines on ebay They are made by Scalecast Models and sold on ebay by houseworkxxx54. I painted them grey, one dark and the other light then weathered. They are nicely cast and good detail. Edited June 21, 2022 by pat141 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelG Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Looks great. Almost worth buying a cheap Lima 201 for €50 to cut it open and place one of these engines in it as a static display in a loco works. Do you mind me asking where did you get accessories such as the mechanic figures, hoists and working platform? The whole ensemble looks great.

pat141 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks Noel, all the accessories are from Bachmann and the platform was an brass etch from Ten Commandments, it was very fine brass, so i put solder on both sides of each piece to make it stronger.

The V8 would not look out of place in a small GM or B201, the straight 6 in a B101 Sulzer 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat141 Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 NIR ENGLISH ELECTRIC 060 SHUNTER No 1. I have been building the NIR EE shunter No1 for a couple of years, on and off. So I decided to get the glazing done and that would be it finished. I bought a second hand 04 shunter motor chassis and then built the body with plastic. I would like to thank Kirley for his help with picture and measurements which was a big help. Here are some pics of the construction. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achil Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Your ballast & PW wagons also really look the part - beautifully weathered too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Padre Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Especially like the last photo with the wagons - could easily be at Bleach Green! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
