00 Loco Thread. (Just for fun).

Here's a Bachmann class 37 number 254. I believe I've seen the real loco in the past on a few occasions.

Not quite sure what this post is for. Is just for pictures of our OO locos or picture of locos that we have also seen in 12 inch to the foot?

It's a fine looking loco MG, but wouldn't it look even finer out of the box?

Haha. Yes. It would.
I could take some more pictures. I have a beautiful Warship somewhere I could photograph along with many other diesels. For some reason I only bought the Warship because it just looked so good!

A phenomenon that pretty much universally baffles many of us MG. R-

I may sell it. I was a early 1980's modeller so it was out of my era of modelling by about ten years. After buying it, I gave it to my youngest brother who looked after it (So I could also enjoy it...!), but he very rarely ran it. It then came back to me when he decided trains were not his thing.
It's actually not had a lot of use. Believe it or not, almost half my 00 gauge collection is not yet run in, as during the late 90's through the 00's I ended up with a good job and I went on a spending spree in the hope to get a nice garden railway running. Never did get a garden railway running.

Here's a little tram engine I scratch built a couple of years ago. A spare Hornby 0-4-0 chassis and various Evergreen plastic sections.

That is excellent. Very well done.

Thanks MG - I've built several locos I wanted for the layout. Mind you I don't rate myself as a great modeler but I don't mind scratch building if something is unavailable and I feel I can do a fair representation.

My scratchbuilding is in 7mm narrow gauge as I find it easier, and it suits my budget better.
I think your tram loco looks better then if it were factory made, as the wooden planking looks amazing. Is it real wood?
