Down at the club today I made some more new friends.

I have now found someone local to 3D print some modified driveshafts for my 63' chassis (ex China class 158) used under my SR multiple units.

This is the joy of club membership. Plus there's a fantastic chip shop nearby :) 

Oh and a couple of my earlier models made it onto the N gauge sea wall layout. Sure they would never have been seen there, but it's all helping me get my mojo back.

Below a brass 07 shunter on a Farish 04 chassis (Etched Pixels) and a resin ex LMS jackshaft shunter on a Minitrix V60 flywheel chassis (Parkwood), from when I was a modeller and not just a collector!

Enjoy!

Sounds fantastic.

I live in BFE: so a weak poorly attended club and no shops for 150 miles... and obviously no British N Gauge.
Spend as little as possible on what you need so you can spend as much as possible on what you want.

This one never made it to the club today. It needs some acetate sheet windows added (called DS74 on the books, it never had any markings or numbers applied to it, so that's a win!)

The first ever (750V DC) electric Bo-Bo shunter, a Drummond 1899 design for the Waterloo and City (so to Underground height clearances) but used at Dunsford Road Power Station Wimbledon until 1965.

Its a @JimSan 3D print on a 3V TGW Tu-16A Bo chassis, with fake bogies and wheels on the 3D print, as you can see when the shunter is upended. The Van gives some idea of the size of the loco.

It's such a small loco, even the OO kit of this loco has non-operating bogies.
