Some Locomotives.

I thought I'd add a bit more detail about some of my loco fleet.

Kato chassis; the original version of these had been about since the 1980s, these newer ones are superb runners thanks to high quality motors, flywheel drive and compensation, all for around £20! 

3D printed freelance Kerr-Stuart style diesel,  on Kato chassis. 

Baguley-Drewry inspired 6WDM. A1 Models etched "scratch-aid" kit, running on a Bachmann "Brick" Plymouth chassis. Cab cut down from the bottom as otherwise it would be too tall. Hatches on the engine cover are BR Mk.1 buffet car vents, comments have been made that they resemble missile hatches on a submarine, so I suppose the loco should be called Trident. Exhaust is turned brass, from an 03 detailing kit.

 

Left: battery-electric loco from a Rushby's Resins kit, on a Kato chassis. I still need to add cab doors to it, probably wooden stable doors with the tops open, and a suitably legless driver.

Middle: EuroNG 3D/etched body kit on a Minitrains Gmeinder chassis, built with small cab doorways (there are a couple of different options in the kit), tarps made of fine fabric. 

Right: my version of the Minitrains Gmeinder. Unpainted kit, cab altered to something near the prototype, quite a lot of detail added, all from photos of real locos.

Another battery-electric. A1 Models kit, etched brass parts on a laser-cut core. Buffer beams and couplings from Chivers Finelines bits box, valance from Evergreen styrene. Kato chassis (again).

There are several other part built locos lurking in boxes and drawers, I may even get around to finishing some of them, eventually!

Biggest lack at the moment is steam traction; there are two or three kettles, and I need to get at least one running to give the water tower something to do!
