More of a repaint rather than a bash, but turned a Model Rail USATC 0-6-0 into an industrial loco. She still needs lettering, nameplates and weathering, but there were at least two USA's that went into NCB service and industrial service. She looks quite nice as is. Once my Narrow Planet orders arrive she'll be christened Athena.

i know. they're completely out of scale

Did my first Nellie bash last year, turning her into an industrial tank to go onto an Electrotren 0-6-0 The buffer beams were shot so I gave her some from an airfix J94, then gave her a maroon livery. I named her Apollo- my intention was to name the fleet after Greek Gods. Frame extensions were fitted to the base of the body for the chassis to sit between. She didn't stay pristine for very long. The varnish left all frosted so I had to apply more weathering to cover it up. She came out looking nice and workstained though
