I could get a Dapol pug kit for an appropriate cab, I've got an old clock that can be dismantled for cogs, I'm sure I have a similar tank wagon*.... * Though not gnawed.... The project is on the road! I've found a Dapol Pug kit and a 20 ton petrol tank kit in the spares box, the clock is ready for disembowelling and I've just ordered a semi-derelict Hornby 101 0-4-0 from Hattons for a tenner along with some items for another project. So not a static fireless loco, but a working one!!! And not one item from the Madness... Result! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
