Nice collection! What did you use for the coal loads?
Bachmann never ceases to amaze me :)

Do you not own Thomas or Annie or Clarabel?

mully

Nice collection love what you have done with the trucks :)

Titanic5972

Thanks guys.

For the coal loads Dino, I cut a block of polystyrene so that it was about 2mm below the top of the trucks. Then ballast was glued on top with pva. The load is still removable too.

No I don't Thomas Annie or Clarabel yet Jacob. Not sure info ever will either. They need to sort out his face first.

Thanks Mully

As Henry was a non runner I have decided to back date this one to his old shape so that I have both. So far progress is seen below.



I have cut off everything from his firebox back and got rid of it all, except for the footplating. I also has a spare body of Gordon so everything from his firebox back was also cut off and modified to fit Henry's footplate. Henry's steam pipes on either side of his smokebox have also been cut off.

I took the motor out because I burnt it out and never got replaced.

Titanic5972

No i forgot to turn off the controller one day when I went to the shops. Henry derailed and his wheels jammed and the motor was smoking when I got back. Yes, like I said above I will get another so I have both versions. More work to Henry.

I've glued the footplate back together and added Gordon's firebox.

I'll wait to add the cab until I've painted the cab and firebox seperately.
