We all have a box of 'stuff' which we collect over the years and I was having a dig through mine recently.
I have a Bachmann Lil Hauler bought a while ago which I've never done anything with and found some bits that gave me an idea, here's the initial roughing out of the possibility.

Tanks and boiler from an old 'Lyn', cut down to fit the Lil Hauler, looked promising so on we go!
Here's where I am today, body done, started on supports for slide bars similar to my previous one in the picture for comparison.


Get that done and then some weathering and another unique loco to add to the fleet !
Hopefully I can get it finished in the next week if I make some time!
More pictures when it's finished.
