At the Rainhill show last week i picked up a Worsley Works WW1 Dick Kerr petrol loco 4 mm scale

 

the wheel base on the rael locos were 5'6'' which is 22mm in 4mm looking around for a chassis i can across from B-train that is 24mm which for me is close anought

I will be makig a start once the chassis arrives from Japan

 

but I can pop out all thoughs rivits before if i get time

I just need now is some axel gards & springs

 

 

I know ther will be problems with the wheels & chassis compared to the real loco But this is for Dean (my 11 year old son)he is in to the 1st world war at the moment so this is to be a cheap build just to give him a WW1 loco to use on my new layout

 

so far the loco has cost under £30

 

Satuarday saw the chassis arrive from japan

So Friday night i had a Riviting Time poping out the rivets on the etch

the tools i use are i hard steal pin in either a wood block or pin vice & a small hammer

Thanks for posting - lovely bit of modelling. 

 

On the back of this, I've just ordered one of these Dick Kerr loco bodies, and the same chassis as yours, so a nice little Christmas hols project for me when it all arrives!

 

Your pics will be a great help to me when it come to assembling I am sure.

 

all the best,

 

Keith
