Roundhouse hybrid on Hambleden Valley
Roundhouse hybrid on Hambleden Valley
Here's the fifth and final loco in the Hambleden Fleet. Its an amalgamation of a lengthened and modified Roundhouse Katie body on a shortened Lady Anne chassis. Has new rear coal bunker, front running boards and other details, including a shortened chimney, a chuff pipe and a Slomo.

I saw this on YouTube recently, absolutely brilliant looking loco.
Roundhouse should consider making something similar.

Re: Roundhouse hybrid on Hambleden Valley
I don't do live steam but I can appreciate the work involved in getting the loco to look and operate so well. You even have a driver...... top marks for that!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: Roundhouse hybrid on Hambleden Valley
That is outstanding.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
Re: Roundhouse hybrid on Hambleden Valley
That is one very attractive loco to my eyes, never liked the Katie for some reason, but that is a superb conversion
and a great weathering job too. Agree with Tom, Roundhouse should be looking at that very closely.

Might be worth an email to Doncaster saying "look what I have done!"
