The diesel tractor at Shortwaite engine shed.
One of our N&SNGM Group members was selling some of his 009 stock, and amongst them was this cobbled-together diesel. I had seen it on his layout a couple of years ago and for some reason I really liked it. Part of the body is the cab from a Roco 6-wheeled diesel and it runs on a shortened Kato 103 tram chassis. I added some weight to the loco, and improved the rear lower cab sheet and added buffer beams. After a repair to the chassis it ran well, so it was painted in the SHLR livery but retains it's original number "8" plates. A driver was also added after these photos were taken and I am making a PW train for it to haul.
