Loco Roll Call

I had an enjoyable time photographing my completed locos built over the last six years for the O9 Modelling Facebook page.  When looking at the photos it's amazing how you notice some painting defects and locos that need more detailing, I will have to tidy them up I think.  

All run on 4-wheeled Kato chassis unless mentioned.

Update January 2025

January 2025 

A couple of new (old loco kits) have appeared this month plus an attempted scratch-build going on.

First "Minotaur" seen test running at "Drawley".  This was a part- built second-hand purchase, an Avalon Line ALS-2 running on a Bachmann 6w Plymouth Diesel chassis which runs quite well, so it was retained.  I have some matching coaches for it in the un-built kits box, so I must build a couple of them.

"Kappa". Another part-built purchase was this Black Dog LC02 Orenstein & Koppel running on an N-Drive Productions 4w chassis which also runs well. 

This is a vertical boilered loco based on a De Winton.  It is being built as an entry into our Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers (Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers) "2025 Challenge" competition for our show on Saturday 3rd May.  I am working on the rivet detail and couplings at the moment, but it is scratch built from plasticard with odd mouldings from the "bits box".  Underneath is a Kato 11-103, picked because the motor is lower than a "109".
