Bachmann Emily conversion becomes a ‘Problem’

[Flying15]

This is really about converting Bachmanns Emily into a representatiion of the London zNorth Western Railways Lady of the Lake/Problem type 2-2-2
Essentially it is a relatively straightforward job involving shortening the Emily body, removing the front pony truck and a lot of Styrene together with a few castings from Williams models and GRS
The tender involved a bit more work
It is based around an Emily tender body and wheels with a new underframe from wood and styrene with Emily wheels, GRS axle boxes; couplings; and Williams Buffers;
The tool boxes are from off cuts of mini trunking
Hopefully the pictures tell the story of its build

Thanks for the positives
A few more images now the loco is almost complete
The conversion involved shortening the boiler , altering the front section of Emily’s running plate and changing the shape of the smoke box so the cylinders are higher
The tender chassis is effectively new in construction retaining only Emily’s tender wheels
The surplus chassis frame may be used in the construction of a tender for something else
I just await plates to complete the job
