| My earliest models in O9 (7mm scale on 9mm gauge, representing 15" gauge) were coaches built using sides from Keil Kraft Routemaster bus kits, obtained very cheaply years ago. Motive power came in the form of a Bachmann powered conversion of the Dapol railbus and Drewery Shunter (04) kits. All still survive, some rebuilt and others not in everyday use.
Other diesels that have passed through the workshops include one donated by well known plasticard modeller Clive Mortimer, which after a second rebuild still operates on Shifting Sands. 'Robin Hood' was sold during a lull in O9 modelling but has visited the layout since, whilst other smaller locos have been built and reached the primer stage before being sold on. 'Beach Halt' was built for a friend who wanted a little slice of my O9 layout 'Shifting Sands'. Similar technique and materials were used to the main layout. |
