Building such a model around a non-powered bogie, is probably easier than on a powered one. But I confess, I haven't tried, nor will I be! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word for it though I'm struggling to work out who would want a non-powered version. Good luck to him as it's currently at 45 pounds😲, although this one took the biscuit for me. 40 pounds for a poorly painted cut 'n shut coach?

I was thinking two Triang jinty chassis' araldited together, just the one cab and then glueing 3 boilers together. Call it Fowlers prototype heavy shunting loco and Bob's your uncle.

Hroth Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I was thinking that it would be fun to try with a Triang Class 37, but the noses are too long. However the naturally snub-nosed Hornby Class 29 would work nicely... Quick! Before there's a rush on them and the eBay price rockets!!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true. I can't understand why though. Last month a Hornby ZBA Rudd in Loadhaul livery sold at auction on eBay for £21.00, yet my Dutch liveried example boxed mint only fetched £6.00 a few hours later on the same day receiving only two bidders. Personally I have always disliked the Loadhaul livery and it is not something I would buy. Edited May 1, 2023 by cessna152towser 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
