LOCO 20 "RINCEWIND"

Loco 20 is to be a Baldrig XT, built on a (allegedly) "scrap" Edrig chassis.

This is what I'm starting with................

Most of the pipework seems to be there (tho' I haven't quite worked out how the main steam line runs........) The main things I need are a footplate, couplings, reversing lever, chimney to go on the existing smokebox and a steam dome to get me a running power unit. I am adding some other items - lamp brackets, a water fill system, a PROPER regulator handle, a PROPER drain cock for the lubricator and a chuff pipe.

Here's the first design for the name and number plates..................
They will, of course, have red backgrounds.

On 12th October, THIS box arrived..................

..................with THIS box inside it...............

..................which, when unpacked, looked like THIS! I'm very impressed!.

The same evening, the Berry Hill Works delivered a Working Steam Plant...........

..................with all the missing bits replaced. We're going to add the R/C once the body's built........

.................. because we suspect there'll be more room for batteries in the new body. The cab's only been plonked on the footplate in this shot - it's designed to be "clamped" between the buffer beam and the frames.
