new loco for cliffhanger

[pilotfriend]

For once, a tender engine and a Mikado at that. It is based on a Roco 0-8-0 chassis.

progress so far

I wouldn't leave that lying around if Julien is present, John!!  ;)

Very nice...

[Tigger]

Yes but will this one qualify for an ASBO?
Agreed, nice!  Look forward to the finished article.

Very nice John - very much like Ted's Craigcorrie & Dunalistair 2-8-0 "Brahma"

Inside frames as well!  ;D.................

Very nice...

You distract John and I'll make a break for it...

Very nice indeed John.

[Hobby]

Only if you get the body as well...

The loco would not be any good for Julien as it passes through the CG loading gauge. Yes but, no but, Julien only likes locos that tear up all of my cow parsley! ;D

In any case, it is my understanding that Vicky Pollard still prefers Julien's loco as it is a lot cleaner than mine will be..

The inside frames are, I admit; a JdF abberation
:)

Looking very impressive.

[MickT]

Very impressive John - it will be another splendid and inspirational model loco.

[pilotfriend]

Thank you. A bit more finishing and I will then be able to place the Archer rivet transfers.

It has indeed a likeness to my 2-8-0, or perhaps I should say to the Darjeeling C class 4-6-2 which my own model was loosely based on. Excellent looking loco, well proportioned. Is the drive in the loco or in the tender?

[pilotfriend]

The drive is in the loco.

In my phoney history, I am claiming that it is a Hudswell Clarke!

[CharlieI]

Very nice John, very nice indeed, with a whiff of the majestic Hudswell 4-8-0s on the Swilly.  What's her 'story'?

Built 1917 for export and left on makers hands and thus purchased by the Glenthorne Harbour Authority!
