    Hello everybody

    By SteelAndSoot,

    I have started this blog as a way for people to view my progress and for people to give me and others tips on making OO-9 railways. So everybody have fun and relax while you are here

    I decided to purchase one of the new Thomas the tank adventures engines as (in my head) they could be converted into OO-9. So I grabbed this diesel engine with the hopes of making something similar to the Talyllyn railway Alf except with a centered engine and a larger hood. I cut of the cab and the insides and fitted it to a kato 103 chassis

    3d printing stages

    By SteelAndSoot,

    I heavily adapted a loco design I found online on the website thingiverse by the user tebee and printed it of. I had to change the design on the inside a lot to make i look nicer and more detailed when it sits on the kato 103 chassis.

    Kernow exclusives

    By SteelAndSoot,

    I recently got my hands on one of the Kernow models s100 made by Bachmann Making it my second Kernow exclusive after one of their Dapol sentinels I bought I would highly recommend both of these engines. Both are at a decent weight, the s100 runs at the same speed as a Hornby austerity 0-6-0st and is almost silent, However the sentinel is a bit noisy but still a very good smooth runner.
    here is a quick link to see the sentinel running so you have an idea of the speed and sound. non of it has been edited so this is exactly how it runs.

    Big Bertha Banker

    By SteelAndSoot,

    I was just looking back through another blog and I saw a post I made of my scratch built big bertha 0-10-0 and I thought I might as well share it the engine is cobbled together from three broken engines. being a triang 3f, a Bachmann royal scot and a Hornby railroad 9f. the triang one had a broken body and chassis but the tender was intact. The royal scot had a broken chassis an tender. and the 9f had a broken body. so without a plan I got the both the body and tender chassis of the 9f as well as the back of the cab. the boiler and cab of the royal scot and the tender of the 3f. It took me a while as I slowly lost intrest then picked it back up again but it came out well I think. I just need to make a headlamp

    Mine Engine

    By SteelAndSoot,

    Sorry that I haven't posted recently, My laptop was broken and I have only just gotten it back in "working" condition. Anyway I managed to design my own class of narrow gauge quarry engine I still haven't come up with a name for the class just yet. The livery is inspired by the Thomas the tank engine Mid Sodor engine Atlas although my engine is longer. I took inspiration from a pre exsisting loco kit in the design of the dome and having the smokebox poking out the front but apart from that I just kinda smashed stuff together.
