The motive power depot on Col's layout lacked an example of the ubiquitous 0-6-2 big Prairie so loved by the Welsh Valley lines. Why pay in the region of £90 for a commercial model? Our lad prefers to build his own! Starting with a chassis picked up at a local toy fair, it was given a plasticard footplate:  The body was also constructed from some of Mr Slaters excellent produce:  Then the boiler was made up from suitable dimensioned copper piping:  Other ancillary bits and bobs were added :  Then it was off to the paint shop for a quick spray job and the requisite transfers. Here is the finished 56 outside the shed waiting to do duty in the coal fields of the Principality....  Regards to all, Shaun. |

Hi Shaun, Another nice example of the work of Bodgit and Wingit from Colin. Certainly looks ready to pull a few coal wagons. Looks like Colin likes plumbing supplies for boilers as much as I do. An 0-6-2 is not a Prairie, they are known as a Webb or a Branchliner. A Prairie is a 2-6-2. Nigel Edit: My ramblings on Collett versus Welsh 0-6-2 tanks has been moved to my workbench thread. ____________________ ©Nigel C. Phillips |

Oh my.... that is VERY neat and tidy for N scale. Please pass on my admiration to Colin for a fabulous example of the class.

If only it were as easy as a few photographs !! Difficult enough in any scale but in N, that's an amazing bit of modelling.  ____________________ 'Petermac |
