O9: New loco for PHLR "Knucker"

 

O9 LOCO for PHLR


A new Ransomes-Rapier loco has been built for Raven Hill (& Pye Rigg Works).
Named "Knucker" (after the foul Sussex Dragon monster.)

Built from a super Floyd Kraemer 3D print received as above in just three parts.  It fitted together well and runs on a Kato 4w chassis.

Also photographed on the same day as the top photo is this second-hand Minimum Gauge Models RHDR "Scooter" loco.  The original Kato chassis did not run well, but was overhauled and now runs fine.  Work must now commence on the body.
