...Or you end up with this!
Basiclly, it's a Hornby D class which I've lowered and added outside cylinders to. And repainted, obiviously. It was just a little something to pass the time. Here's a picture of her next to Carn Brea Castle to show the height difference.
Sorry for the appalling paintwork. I guess it could be argued that the industrial railway that owned her never cared for her properly?
She has been subject to my very complicated numbering system and numbered '1'. Other changes I've made which are less obvious include the splashers (to cover up the wheels as they were protruding through the frames and tanks), the roof profile was slightly altered (but not as noticable as I'd hoped-d**n...), the pipey thing on the smokebox/boiler on the left hand side, and the oval buffers.

looks good, your modelling skills are much better than mine! The paint is just a tad rough though... lol
It looks good, nice little conversion.

I see i've passed the 'bug' on Thats how i started .
White locos are hard to paint as it has to be quite a thick coat of paint , cream covers better btw
