Semi-scale BR: Leader and Pannier Tank
Re: Semi-scale BR: Leader and Pannier Tank
Both the Pannier and Leader look spot on.
I am currently looking at building a 5 inch gauge 'Leader' as a petrol mechanical. The rational behind it being a 'What-if' they had not been scrapped but re powered and used on the southern. (Also I have acquired a box of bits that contains a very heavily built 5 inch chassis that is crying out for a body.)

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Late to the party, sorry. I have to say they are beautiful locos. If it looks right it is right and they look the part.
Thanks for sharing.

Here’s another daft video:

Still struggling to get it sharp, mind.
Probably best watched on a phone or small tablet (with headphones), to tighten it all up.
(Oh. And I broke my soldered connections to the smoke unit while inserting the batteries...)

Looks sharp enough to me, the bridge is brilliant by the way.
Just run the loco a little slower and just a tad further back and it will look even better I think.

Re: Semi-scale BR: Leader and Pannier Tank
I like the signals you use, did you make them yourself or can you buy them as kits/ready made?
Re: Semi-scale BR: Leader and Pannier Tank
Thank you. Signal kits (and ladders) are from Cambrian Model Rail.tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 10:02 am I like the signals you use, did you make them yourself or can you buy them as kits/ready made?
