DMLR - Photo Day
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2019 3:22 pm
I thought as the weather was nice and people were putting some lovely pictures up of running days, open days etc, I thought I would add a few more to it and take some pictures of some of my loco's and rolling stock. To be fair I could not find most of the rolling stock as it is in the attic in stored boxes from when we decorated, lol.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy, there will be a number of posts and pictures, some with comments.
First up is a overview of what was on the Ditton Meadow Light Railway today
Next up on the rails are the home built loco's, mainly made out of plasticard but the steam outline was built in brass in a recent build thread on here. I think a couple of the others were build threads on here too.
The home built collection, two freelance and hopefully the other two speak for themselves.
The Peckett with the LKM in the backbround
The as yet, un-named freelance 0-4-0 0-4-0 built from plasticard. May well be called Goliath as it weighs in at a little over 12lbs!
The next one is called Phil. This is named after my step father who has been a big inspiration in my home built models. This one was actually copied from a freelance loco he built called Bill, which was named after my grand father, hence the sentimental meaning on this one.
Also in this section we have the Harlech Castle which was built on an old Accucraft Baguley chassis, modified for the step etc of course and sprayed accordingly. My first attempt at a full body build, again in plasticard. Also annoyingly needs a repaint of the grill as every time I see it I think, I really need to get that done, and then promptly forget!
Finally in the section is another freelance little diesel. I built two of these at the time, this dirty one for myself and a clean version for my step father. He built both chassis and running gear from scratch and I built the bodies and sprayed them. Loosely based on Little John for inspiration.
