Rana Temporia Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I was searching the Book “Diesel Shunters” by Hugh Llewelyn and one of the locos stood out as a possible prototype for a cheap model that could justifiably use the 0-4-0 chassis. The loco was made by Thomas Hill and appears to have a much longer wheelbase than most 0-4-0 diesel shunters and pretty close to that of the standard cheap chassis. It is outside framed so the coupling rods etc could be hidden. There were lots of versions of this loco produced and rather than the non-prototypical Barclay diesel shunter which is based on an ex-Thomas model it could be used by those wanting something that’s a bit more realistichttps://images.app.goo.gl/pkUfZy34HByLetE3A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 How about some freelance ones. The Tri-ang dock shunter springs to mind and the Tri-ang North British 0-4-0. It would of course mean making new moulds from the original designs or models as the originals have long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
