That's a great looking loco Mitch, and in time for Christmas too. Nice livery as well.

Mitch,
Do you get the trucks to turn it into a 2-6-2, or are they an extra?

Gday Grant, the 2-6-2 is an extra but accucraft are offering the 2-6-2 as R-T-R or kit

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Hey Chaps, Been a little while since i posted last.
a couple of exciting things have happened since i last posted.
I finally have acquired a Bachmann Davenport for use as the tramways main diesel.
this will be converted to battery power when funds are available to do so. i have been slowly investing in 3D printing, currently waiting for funds to order a new printer before producing more stock for the tramway.
there is another surprise due to come soon, which has halted both of the above things from progressing at the moment. but ill post details once i have the item with me.

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
That's a sharp-looking little diesel!
What kind of printer are you looking at? A surprise sounds fun! (I also have a surprise project, but mostly because I forgot to post about it... and finish it... )

I like that it already matches your tank engine.

Shame you're the other side of the world as I have a lovely Ender 5 Pro that needs a new home, glass bed, BLTouch, great little work horse. Ah well, I do hope you find what you are looking for somewhat closer to home

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Hey all, Appreciate the lovely Responses, the printer I am looking at is a Bambu Labs A1 Combo (Able to print Multi Colour FIlament)
As For the Suprise loco, i have managed to acquire an accucraft Plantation 0-4-2 live steamer. runs like a swiss watch.

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Need to be wary of some reviews. Over here there are some who just post reviews who haven't even seen or done anything with what they are reviewing and some companies use there own people to review something for company rewards...
