New diesel loco for the CV&BLR

[adeshers]

The CV&BLR has just taken delivery of a diesel loco for shunting duties. It's not looking its best at the moment but plans are afoot.

Can anyone tell me the origins of this little fella (real, if it existed in 1:1 and the model). It appears to be a plastic kit. The main weight is in the (unknown) motor block but cast metal buffer beams provide some more. These are loose so will have to be eased off and re-secured. It runs okay but will probably benefit from some running in. As can be seen the left hand side running gear moulding and running board is missing so I'll have to fabricate something.

You'll get all the info about the model from here Ade;

As you'll see, I've got one, but your's is in slightly better nick.

Cheers Mel, I thought I'd seen it on the site somewhere. If I could get mine to look like yours (ooer Missus) and still keep it a runner I would be very happy - sadly I think I'll fall short but I'll have some fun trying.
