georgie Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I saw a 00 gauge locomotive conversion on a layout in a small exhibition many years ago. The owner had converted an old Hornby caley single, 4,2,2, into a passable model of an old north eastern J class, with the full cab, using plasticard and odd bits from the scrap box. Not perfectly accurate, but it captured the spirit of the prototype. Has anyone on RMWeb carried out such a conversion? Can anyone direct me to any plans of the J class loco and tender? I have a vast collection of all the popular railway modelling magazines, going back to the 1950`s. If any one knows of a mag with the plans of this loco printed, I`d like the issue number/year. I have`nt got the time to sift through every copy Better still if someone has carried out the conversion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that your approach is unlikely to produce much help. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
