Locomotive roster

Post by pauly » Sun May 02, 2010 9:12 am

Heres a list of all my working locomotives, all of them are 45mm gauge unless specified as 32mm.
I put this in the general section because theres a mixture of steam and electric.

Image
A Millie I bought at Stoneeleigh and have converted to an open cab and repainted black.
Its mods include, a water top up system, a brass dome, cylinder covers and a coal topped bunker.
The trains it works are usually local passengers

Image
An RC Caradoc given to me for Christmas (2008) is still in its running in period and is usually my choice of steamer to take to other railways.

Image
A IP Daisy Railcar built in 2008 by me (although the kit was bought in early 2007)
very useful engine which has been regauged several times as needs must and usually used when I cant be bothered to run a steamer or assemble a proper train.

Image
Built from an IP railcar kit it has had little use

Image
A Millie named Torak, it was my first live steam locomotive and has a special place in my heart.
Its mods include, a full coupling rod upgrade, SV cover, nameplates, painted coupling rods, pained buffers, full cab upgrade and for a short time it had RC added.
Almost always works Express passenger trains.

Image
A battery powered Diesel I purchased off Ebay because I wanted a battery loco that had full speed controls.
Many mods have been added by the previous owner but none by me.
Light frieght and occasional passenger workings.

Image
A Regner Vincent I purchased in 2008, at first it was a massive thorn in my side due to a whistling burner but since Iv solved it its became a faviourate of mine and now sees regular use on passenger and frieght trains.
Mods include a working whistle.

Image
A IP tram kit with a USA Trains chassis, it is battery powered and is often seen on single coach passenger workings and mixed traffic.

Image
A scratchbuilt Simplex body I bought off Ebay which I then added a chassis to and painted and weathered.
It is almost exclusivley seen hauling gravel tippers or light fuel tankers.

Image
A MSS Saddle tank loco, given to me for christmas 2009.
it is 32mm gauge and the mods include, single buffers, a brass cowel and sandeboxs.

Image
A Roundhouse Jack given to me for my 18th birthday, its Number 10 of 100 made and is RC.
Usually seen on express passenger and heavy frieght.

Image
A battery powered diesel I bought off Ebay, usually seen on local passenger and local frieght trains.
is a serious battery drainer.

Image
1 of the first IP Janes ever made, I bought it off Ebay and named it Coath.
Its my only Meths fired loco and very pleasent to run on a nice summers day.
Its usually seen on very light passenger and frieght trains.

Image
A IP battery loco kit I built before I started the railway, it was my first kit and is starting to show its age.
its usually seen on gravel tipper trains but has been used on passenger trains.
Its nameplates read KATIE

Image
A loco I scratchbuilt using only stuff I had lying around, nothing was purchased specifically to make this engine.
hasnt been used on the railway yet.

Image
A IP Rapier kit I built last year, originally built to 45mm gauge it has been regauged to 32mm.
usually seen on Quarrymans coach trains.

Image
A IP Fenor loco kit I built last year to 32mm, is usally seen on 3 coach passenger trains.

Image
A LGB tram loco I purchased at Stoneleigh, its track powered so is only used when I visit electrified railways.


Image
A locolines kit I built which Iv never been very happy with, its very tatty and some panels have warped.

Image
An Aristocraft BP loco I bought from my local model shop, its track powered so is only used when I visit other railways

Image
An LGB Gustav hand car, track powered.

Image
An IP tram body on a playmobil battery chassis, I built it to look like toby.
Young visitors love playing with it.

Image
Bachmann tram with custom decals, once again its track powered.

Image
A Bachmann spectrum shay I bought many years ago, its track powered and a faviourate when visiting other lines.
A steam propelled life-style.

You may be dissapointed! This is the only photo I have of it and it's not actually mine, so I hope the author doesn't mind me using it (Paul Sherwood I think). I can probably try and get some more but it will be during my next visit to Norwich, which I don't know when it will be. The loco was bought off ebay but when tested ran awfully, it has had alot of work doing to it to make it run smoothly but now it is great, very very powerful indeed! My grandad has also made a whistle for it, mounted underneath and is extremely loud!
