Re: Lets see all your scratchbult locos in G scale etc
Class 57 or Rhodesian DE 4 diesel totally scratchbuilt aprt from USA power bogies named Commonwealth Spirit after much loved 47 local to N Wales
Seen here when running in and testingRe: Lets see all your scratchbult locos in G scale etc
Ooooh! That 47/57’s very interesting…
A garden railway just can’t have too many big tank engines and even bigger diesels, I reckon. Here’s my fun-scale Class 73 from not that long ago (I assumed I must have posted a snap of it complete before but it seems not).

I did this one in Lockdown II & III (or was it III & IV)
Cobbled together from some bits from an IP engineering chassis and a few other bits and bobs.
(A sort of NER/ Steeplecab battery electric thingumybob)
Kept me entertained for a month or so on and off.

'Cobbled together' ??? I don't think so. If that was available in kit form I would be ordering one now!Johnnie1000 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:37 pm I did this one in Lockdown II & III (or was it III & IV)
