As Peter rightly explains, the tank wagon’s from Newqida. He’s achieved a rather more comprehensive reworking of it than I managed.
The tank
engine pictured at the beginning of the thread – the cartoon scale Pannier tank – is a plasticard, scratch-build (with some G3 white metal fittings), on a Piko motor block. It’s not running at present as I don’t have enough Deltang or LocoRemote to go round.
It’s bigger than Gauge 1. Essentially, as with my other earlier builds, it was built to provide a UK outline loco to pull mildly adapted, G-scale rolling stock (like the tank wagons above). I kind of pretend it’s a UK metre-gauge railway (well, 3’11”) at something like 1:26 – but really I just like seeing approximately familiar looking stuff trundling round the garden – scale is
not at the top of the list.
