Recently added swift sixteen cow catchers to the front and back of 'the fox'. Think these really help the look of the loco.

More details planned. Thinking of adding a whistle (non working) and vacuum brakes as well

A pot boiler 0-4-0 Lady Anne, one of my dream locos!

She's not actually a lady Anne. She's a scratch build built by my dad in 1992. As the first loco he built she was made to look similar to a pot boiler lady Anne and built using a lot of lady Anne parts. Key differences are the oversized rivets, and the different meths tank. I believe the frames are shorter than a lady anne as well. She's a great loco though and still even 21 years later is a stunning runner.

I'm tempted to respray her over the winter period in the early lynton and Barnstaple livery but still not sure yet.

Well it certainly fooled me, a beautiful little loco you have there.

How about some Swift Sixteen loco steps?

Funnily enough was just looking at them. May have a look at what I can knock up in the workshop but they are very tempting.

The lamp looks more to scale on your loco
