Just an image of the 'tender' that was equipped to these locos.

Hi Chrizzly, I don't know if its just me, but I can't actually see that image, would be nice to as I do have a few old wagons I may be able to put into use as a make do tender. Smile

As it happens I've just won an auction that will deliver me 4 potential donors, 1 of the Smokey Joe type pugs and 3 of the other 0-4-0 tank loco's that I've been picking up. All different liveries, but suggested by the listing as being quite play worn (picture wasn't too clear) in which case one or more may get 'weathered' as an experiment or even as a conversion/detailing project not sure yet. Price of these models? A whole £20 for the four, I mean that's PlaRail prices for Hornby motorised locomotives! Smile

Hurry up, I want to see how you do with weathering and to have someone I can ask about as I too would like to take a stab at weathering but have always chickened out.

It's not just you. I can't see it either, but I thought that was just the school computer blocks interfering. I'll see what I can do.
