The visible, on scene length is less than 6". Hands up who thinks the purchase of a new loco, for use on this layout, is a good idea. The purchase of a new loco for any layout is always a good idea.

It's a reward for the layout. Makes it feel loved.......wanted......cwtched... Stubbers tells us that there is only a short length of track to utilise. Therefore we need a short loco on which it can run. It's all coming together and the logical loco is a Peckett. I mean, they are such inoffensive little chaps as the famous Hattons ruler points out so very well. Tiny........look..... Rob. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 28, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2019 I fear that as SWMBO front-ended her car yesterday ( no injuries all round), any possible spare cash might now be otherwise spent. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 28, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2019 Not that I was going to buy a new loco anyway, unless it was 009. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 31, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2019 Sorry to hear about the road motor accident, Stubbers, but am glad that no one was hurt. Still, I suppose it gives you a bit more time to choose which Terrier you're going to get in due course. And here's a bit of a silver lining, they might be selling 'em off cheap by that time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2019 Any more thoughts about a Terrier, then, Stubblywubbly? If you really don't want to get one, then a Peckett would satisfy your fan club. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted April 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2019 Oh boy, this is a regular Mexican standoff. Nice 009 stock. I have lost track, what loco will you be using to pull it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2019 It's an HO Lilliput loco ( of some sort). I also have a 3D bodied Dean Hill loco on a Kato chassis, but it's a bit too fast and uncontrollable for slow speed work. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2019 I went to KMRC today. I did not buy a Terrier. I did not buy a B4. I certainly did not buy a Peckett ( none left in the bargain bucket). I did not buy any U channel plastic strip, nor 2mm brick embossed sheet, both of which I would have purchased had there been any. I consoled myself with an open 009 carriage and a pair of 009 bolster wagons. I need to make some loads for the wagons (plastic straws, microstrip & paint). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolleaux, should have bought a Terrier! Changed my mind (temporarily), I think this narrow gauge line now needs a Manning Wardle 2-6-2T in Southern Railway livery.
