Continuing with the narrow gauge theme for now, I decided to improve the Minitrains Bagnall wing-tank loco. Here is another view of it as it comes.

The main issue for me was the lack of daylight under the boiler, due to its use of the existing mount on the chassis. This could be disguised with various boiler fittings and toolboxes, but I wanted to go further.

 

Disassembly begins.

I think that the screw on the chimney is enough to hold the whole thing together, so I can remove the plastic clips that hold the body and chassis together.

 

Further disassembly of the boiler/tank part.

 

I cut away the 'skirts' under the boiler and refitted it to the body. This is more like it, but I need to fix the underside of the boiler and ideally retain the original weight.

Hi Niles hopes all well 

im trying to take my bagnall apart and having a nightmare it just doesnt want to come apart if you can remember how does this model come apart without breaking i could hide my face in shame but no expert on these 

thanks

Hello All 

just a quick hellome Andy  a 50 old from staffordshire mostly a 28mm figure painter and complete novice on this subject however

 i have seen my dad through my lifetime live and breath steam to go from 00 gauge layouts to massive Hornby 0 gauge layout inside garden shed / outside garden to

its too cold outside going to build a n gauge layout sadly this never happen 

since sadly my father has passed away i have had this urge to build a small layout in narrow gauge 009 

since i have inherited quite a bit of oo gauge stuff i will try to use what i can 

so the inspiration credit goes to Niles scarside display wonderful and got me hooked to do something similar 

so have been busy trying to find suitable locos and was very luck to get a minitrains bagnall side tank and got aftermarket chimney to suit will be add plus some brass here and there 

also managed to buy another bagnall from narrow planet lovely little loco 

well plenty to do and plenty of questions going forward im sure 

Ta for now
