It was the strangely British-but-clearly-not appearance of the loco that did it! I seem to remember that those tanks were built there too, rather than being Beyer Peacock imports.

she was actually built in germany, as were her sister engines

It looks like something from a reprint of a novel by Charles Dickens! Nice work.

haha thanks, was actually inspired by this pic

So far, so good! I hope it can run well in both directions. The cab windows are rather too Jinty-like, so perhaps a different cab might work?

not bothered about it realy, also, at the moment it can't run at all, it has no motor, plus since that pic i've added a GWR style bonnet and a different chimney, planning to fit a new smokebox door and a westinghouse pump, so the jinty windows won't be that obvious

some progress, handrail fitted, chimney changed, safety valve cover added
plonk it it front of a station, add some figures, faff around with some filters and it looks somewhat like an old photograph

begone cab!

What about the safety-valve? Midland Railway locomotives had those as much as GWR locomotives.

that too, thinking about it i might keep the some and just add a new smokebox door and safety valve cover

Thought so. Midland Railway maroon/crimson is nice. It would have a late-Victorian/Edwardian feel to it.

smokebox door and some might get replaced too

Awesome and marvellous in its own right! Seeing as it still retains the BR lining, it would be perfect as an LNWR, Midland or freelance 0-4-2T along with four-wheel and six-wheel coaches to haul.

going to repaint her comletely, probs going to be MR maroon

a bit of cutting and the 14xx had some progress, needs a slight extension to the frame and most likely a new boiler but she's starting to take shape

could've made a 2-4-0, but the splasher would be in the way and i can't be asked to remove it

Cute little suburban tank there, Captain. 

thanks! came about by pure accident too! due to construction of the 0-6-0 14xx i had a body and chassis, it dropped on perfectly, thus this little fella was born

one of those actually did go through my mind whilst looking at the 14xx chassis and the jinty body

for once instead of thinking of "hmm that would be a nice bash" yours truly actually makes a thing, an 0-6-0 version of the 14xx (featuring a triang jinty chassis) the jinty chassis and autotank body need some filing, in the meantime i dropped the jinty body onto the 14xx chassis and voila presto, a very dainty little jintystein! just need some paint and transfers for her now (might cut out a bit of cab roof to make it look more victorian)

If you're trying to bash the Pug into an 0-6-0, I recommend this beastie from a not-too-far-away location (Gorton ... if you regard the Pugs as an adaptation of a Vulcan design, that's very near indeed):
 

 

Ah thanks! i'll consider that one!

Rather stylish for a loco of its kind, but unusually proportioned. My suggestion would be to make the boiler/tank section a bit shorter, thereby enabling the cab to go forward a bit and make room for a bunker.

 

The loco as-drawn could probably shunt all day without needing to take water, but need to stop for more coal every couple of hours. The opposite is/was usually preferable.

how about a seperate coal tender? (bit like the CR pugs sometimes did)

Looks good. For the 0-6-0, how do you propose to do the chassis (assuming it’s motorised so the plastic kit chassis is no good)?

won't be motorized just cutting and glueing the plastic chassis/siderods and just have it as a nice little static

I swear there used to be a kit for the Killin Pug - Dean Sidings maybe? - using the Hornby CR pug in some way. I remember the first Hornby Magazine I bought years ago now had a 'how to article' on it and I was really tempted but never did follow up on it. 

There used to be one, it was indeed dean sidings, only used the chassis of the Hornby (caley) pug

Here's the more refined 0-6-0 pug as i intend to build it, just pretend the lettering and number are the correct LMS font, used gill sans as a placeholder

this was quickly cobbled together, will refine it a tad later

i've had a bit of a think, come up with 2 things that would be pugbashable.
A killin pug, can be easily made from a nellie cab and a normal Hornby smokey joe pug
An 0-6-0 L&Y pug, which can be easily made from 2 pug kits (heck will probably build one myself soon)

Thanks for all the help!

actually this doesnt look much better, any chassis suggestions?

actually a terrier chassis might work better

Two donor Hornby versions of the 0-4-0 and a jinty chassis, and you've pretty much got this

Realy love the big boxy tank
