Hi

Does anyone know if a J21 loco has been made by anyone.

Not in N scale that I'm aware of.

It is however a fairly plain shaped loco and Isinglass I believe have the drawings for it. Biggest question is probably what chassis would be close

Looks like I may have to modify a union mills j25

Looking at the drawings that does seem a very good plan.

Well they are easy to work on.
The metal is quite soft compared to old farish or minitrix.
So modifications can be done by knife and file!

That applies to detailing too, of course. Much easier job than a die-cast Farish.

Thanks Guys.  A phone call to colin on the cards to obtain one or maybe two of his j25's

Although I should sell on my Lms/midland region items first to fund it all


This has come about due to a complete change in direction.  I was building a layout of Armathwaite on the S and C. This has now changed and is becoming Kirkby Stephen east station and sheds. Hence the swap to eastern region stock. 

Being a volunteer at the above station I feel I should turn my modelling to recreate the station in its former glory.

Cheers
