Vintage T9 restoration


Recommended Posts

A loco that is nearing completion is the restoration of a vintage scratch built gauge 3 LSWR wide cab T9 with a 6 wheel tender. The loco is made out of all manner of scrap materials and I think it was originally built in circa 1960.
 

The loco came to me in a pretty bad way. It’s had a lot of work done to it and the final major job was completed this week in repairing some damage to the driving wheel hubs. It currently has a tender drive motor but I am going to try to encourage the owner to replace it with a more modern motor and gearbox on the loco drive axle. The boiler is not in its final position in case you are wondering why it’s inclined.
