Mr Sprue

Did anyone ever manufacture a kit for these loco's for N Gauge ? Or even modeled one?

Not that I know of unless there is a 3D print project on the go somewhere. The chassis would also be an issue as they were shorter than the M7 that Dapol did.

Best wishes

I'm sure @thebrighton has built one of these from a modified M7.....?

Cheers,

N Brass Locos do a G6, that is very close to an O2 when it has an 0-4-4 chassis.  There are a few differences, but not so much as to notice in 'N'.  But the kit is body only, so you have to fettle the chassis....

A T1 is easier, M7 wheels are near correct, except bogie needs shortening, use the G 6 kit for cab, bunker and tanks. I've got one part done, mostly painting to bedone.

I built my O2 using the NBrass G6 kit on a heavily modified Farish chassis.


There is also a 3D print available. This link is to one in its original condition but Simon laso does the IOW version: https://www.shapeways.com/product/MALNH2UMF/b-148fs-lswr-o2-loco?optionId=146518402&li=shops . Again you'd need to rustle up a chassis.

I was looking at one of my M7's thinking there were possibilities, the chassis at least is almost there to that of an O2.

Nice work  :thumbsup: Did that particular loco have Westinghouse braking system fitted?

To be honest I built it nearly 10 years ago and it was based on photos of number 208 but my aging memory can't remember!

Mr Sprue

I think I might be well tempted to buy an N Brass G6 kit, I wonder if they will be at the Ally Pally this year. :hmmm:

208 became W17 "Seaview" on the Isle of Wight at which time it was fitted with Westinghouse brakes but I don't think it had them prior to its cross across the Solent. Difficult to be 100%sure though.
