Brian - that looks smashing - thank you for sharing. I've snagged a 0-4-0 Fleischmann engine donor - and many thanks to Robin W for sourcing that at such short notice, so let's see where this leads.

Other advice I have had suggests using a TT ("Normandy") body and making an HOm/12mm version, which is also closer to the original Betchworth gauge for this particular part of the quarry (3'2½"; they ran standard gauge and three narrow gauge lines within the quarry), so decision time draws closer.

Thank you to all that have offered advice and commentary on this - greatly appreciated.
