Wagon Shunter in O Gauge.

I have recently weathered a railway vehicle for my friend Graham M. It looks like a flat wagon with an added cab and internal combustion engine. It was purchased off Ebay for curiosity value. It is unpowered but Graham intends to motorise it. Its origins seem to be European, but we are lead to believe that a few were imported to the UK. I believe they cost about £30-35, and it is solidly built apart from the wheels which are awful and would benefit from replacement, motorising or not. I could see a motorised loco (wagon) on a nice little O Gauge shunting plank. Another mate has already invested in one.

O Gauge Deltic

Doing the last few Locos that need naming and/or numbering. The first one is Deltic number 55003 MELD in its final working condition. The nameplates are Fox and the transfers are Railtec. I need to source another set of windscreen wipers as this loco had two per window. I last saw this Loco at KX on the day John Lennon was killed.

Will be weathered in future – but it is at the back of a rather large queue.

Pre Xmas O Gauge.

Sadly not done any modelling during Xmas, but here are a couple I worked on prior to Xmas. They are from very diverse eras. Sadly I am so far behind with weathering, it will be many months before I can finish them properly.

Freightliner Class 08.

I purchased this loco from a box shifter for a bargain £150, it was an unnumbered Loco. I have now numbered it 08530, this Loco has spent some time in East Anglia. After research I found three photos of it working at Felixstowe. I have removed the vacuum pipes, added windscreen wipers as well as numbering.

BR(S) Class D 4-4-0

I purchased this Loco as part of a job lot about 2 years ago. After testing it, it was deemed a non runner. I then left if for nearly a year, when I had a conversation with my friend Ian (Trainman ) Hammond who said he would take a look at it for me. I know the regeneration had some twists and turns but in the end I was handed back a lovely running Loco. My thanks go to Ian for saving the day. I have since given it some cosmetic TLC and it now looks and runs great. It will now become part of my BR(S) Engine Shed layout.
