In fact EU07-1051.

That link doesn't work.

Do you mean EP07-1051?

... it's an EP07 - which is an EU07 rebuilt with new traction motors and different gearing.

Found in a video game, if you’ve ever wondered what a 7ft gauge Terrier would look like, here it is.

[Corbs]

Which game is that? Interesting cranked rods too! Allows that small pipe to go in between them and the wheels

it looks like assasins creed, we know what silliness they got up to creating the victorian one 

[Satan's Goldfish]

Imaginary Preserved BR (Ex LNER) Streamlined 'Mountain'. Just for fun.

 

 

It's different from my previous LNER 4-8-2, the drivers are bigger.

I suppose this could be at home here, a Roxey Cyprus Railway 2-6-0 with a few differences, painted in a South African inspired livery. By changing the tender, the loco can either be a OO9 loco or a O9 loco.

If anyone is looking for a (Blue) Pullman loco, Co-Bo wheel arrangement, then it is your lucky day, there is one for sale on Ebay.

You don't see one of those every day.

Just to say it is not my listing, I just saw it when looking for kits.

Interesting idea! That looks very interesting! May we please see a video of it in action sometime?

I thought they were A1A-Bo.   Shame it isn't in large logo blue or I might risk bidding £1.05.

[LNWR18901910]

I've been working on some freelance steam locomotives and here is one I came up with using the BR Standard 9F as a basis and an LMS Stanier 8F as inspiration.

This locomotive is a Southern Bulleid 2-8-2 freight locomotive built mainly for heavy long distance freight. This locomotive is the X1 Class 2-8-2 tender locomotive and was first introduced in 1944. A total of 90 were built and all have survived into BR ownership until they were replaced by the 9Fs and withdrawn between 1960 to 1964. Only one member of the class, No. 188, has survived into preservation.

 

 

Also, my GWR 2-6-4T 'Platypus' is steadily taking shape soon and my Mk II LNWR Mogul is nearing completion. My freelance LNER Hudson 4-6-4 based loosely on Gresley's W1 4-6-4 is steadily coming to fruition.

Hi Jamie

 

 

Says who? I had D900 on the layout at a show and there was a dad telling his son what all the classes of loco were. When he got to D900 he said " I have no idea what D900 is?" His son looked at him if he was daft for not knowing. I didn't say anything pretending not to hear.

 

Edit, sorry for the small image.

Here are my made up locos, although one is only a repaint.

 

1. A class 58 in BR blue numbered 58 001, I followed the paint scheme of the class 20's with the only deviation being the yellow cab side windows. I did it please myself as I do like the blue era stuff and I have got two in grey with red frames.
2. A tri bogie lash up from HST power cars supposedly for freight liner, block oil, sleeper or motor rail type trains. This loco is finished in protoype HST livery and the front end should have been steepened up a little bit although I do like the Warship style buffer beam.
3. This is a Q1- austerity style cladding as might have been applied to the light pacifics. There is a wooden mock up in the NRM and I have also seen photos of it in various books so a Dapol kit was suitably modified to suit.

Interesting locomotives! I like the Q1-austerity pacific! Does that run well as well as the other locomotives?

Hi LNWR,

 

The austerity Bullied pacific is only a static although building a runner shouldn't present any problems, I would use one of the older Hornby models with the X04 motor. I have to say there are loads more jobs that need sorting out before building another one of those. I built a model of Tangmere, also from a Dapol kit at the same time for I was rebuilding the real one at the time when working at Riley's

 

The tri bogie runs fine although the centre bogie jumps off on reverse point work sometimes and the 58 is what it is.

 

I do have another parts bin contraption somewhere but it is in a box that I can't get to after house alterations, I shall post a pic when I get tidied up.

 

Pleased you like them,

 

Gibbo.

I certainly do and thanks. I wonder what that contraption is...

[Gibbo675]

Found It !

 

This contraption is from the remainder of the HST power cars that I used to build a cut and shut class 89 I sometime around 1989.

 

It is in RTC red and blue and as it is from Derby it runs on class 25 bogies, who knows what the RTC would have used it for? Perhaps one of their boffins has suitable ideas about possible purpose.

As a slug unit?

[Dr Gerbil-Fritters]

Looks like a genny van. 

 

Nice work, especially liked the tri-bo.  And I am sure I recall seeing early art work of the class 58 in banger blue in one of the enthusiast mags of the day.

I LOVE it! 

 

Just the sort of thing we'd have slung together from existing bits and pieces back then.

 

Perhaps as a 'Traction Test Unit'? We might have put it in a consist behind some poor unsuspecting loco or unit under test and run it in reverse to put extra load on the test loco.

I was outbid. Its up to £21 plus £3.90 postage.  A once in a lunchtime opportunity to acquire something hopefully unique?

Sensible suggestion: Sandwich it between a pair of inspection saloons.

 

Silly suggestion: Invent some test cars to run with it. Spline Defrobulation Car, Infinite Improbability Drive Car, Timey-Wimey Manipulation Car, Carbonite Freezing Car, Unobtanium Detection Car, etc.

Not unique - Clive 'plastic wrangler' Mortimore has built one. 

 

Clive's built everything there ever was and ever might have been out of left overs, the man's a genius.
