Cool, but the red wheels do look quite toy trainy.

Hi MHLR, did you guys ever build more than one tender of the same spec...? *ponders*

PS: Repaint the wheels. Please. Mamods don't have to be clown cars ;) [apart from those wheels mind, Columbine's a lovely looking loco!]

Nah, I made it as a one off from some tinplate sheet. Very easy to do though, just using a pair of tinsnips and a pop riveter to fix the sides to the floor panel.

Or the D&FGR where the same rule applies! :D Unless they've failed again, which is 90% the case, so Edrig rules mostly! :P
