Can you see what it is yet?

Apols to Rolf, good ol' boy that he is.

The L&L shops have been mighty busy of late, and have not yet quite finished their latest project, but the foreman is pleased with the lads efforts, and thought he would do the live steam equivalent of the box opening that our LGB friends tease us with....

So....can you see what it is yet?!8D

 

[New Haven Neil 2]

Indeed....can you?

More tomorrow after, er, I do some more work on it - not finished yet!

 

[Ferrysteam]

Looks like the Accucraft B4 040 dock shunter.

 

[Phil]

i can say with upmost confidence that it is..





A locomotive

Looks like the Accucraft B4 040 dock shunter.

Can't be an 0-4-0, the centre wheel is flangeless and the coupling rod extends past that. More like a Jinty or similar 0-6-0.

 

[nicebutdim]

Outside cylinders, 0-6-0, is it a 2F dock tank?

 

[Neil Robinson]

A Caley in BR mixed traffic Livery?
Well it's not early B.R. express blue!

 

[Rhinochugger]

Carn't be a re-painted Caledonia :thinking::thinking:

There's not much else that's 6-coupled

Lady Anne ?

 

[Hugh Napier]

Definitely a black 'Caledonia'.... looking forward to a full image!

Hugh gets the pize, of.....well....nothing, other than the kudos!

It is indeed Caledhoonia - dhoo being Manx for black.

Neil R, not BR mixed traffic, the lion logo has been sublty altered, by Chris Moxham to my commission.

 

[New Haven Neil 2]

So what do you think?

I think I'm in danger of being lynched by the Manx mafia....

 

[New Haven Neil 2]

I'm rather pleased with how she's turned out!

 

[yb281]

So what do you think?

I think I love it mate. :love::love:

 

[Gizzy]

Rolf would be proud of that one....

 

[Neil Robinson]

A very fine job.

That livery suits the loco well.

Have you fitted R/C and will the loco carry a name?

 

[garrymartin]

She wears that livery well , super job

Hi Neil, yes, planet 5 r/c, same as my blue one, not sure about a name yet, Caledhoonia was suggested - dhoo is Manx for black! Mike (GHWOOD) already had 'Mhoddey Dhoo' = black dog... so I can't use that!

 

[shropshire lad]

That livery really suits Cale Neil.
I won't tell anyone where you live tho!!!

 

[bobg]

To my mind; a very brave fellow! To take a new loco and even contemplate such a radical make-over takes a lot of confidence (never mind the skill). I'd probably b****r it up coz I was fightened of doing just that.

Tick, tick V.G.
10/10

 

[Hugh Napier]

Excellent work! Now, why does it remind me of a North London tank?
