"Arthur" Dajeerling B class

[Gareth]

Well its taken over 2 years to build got almost totally destroyed after taking a tumble down to flights of stairs and was not an easy loco to build anyway !! Uses an LGB Toytrain chassis heavily modified has has an emotion M decoder in it (Massoth) The tender is completely scratchbuilt bar the wheels . Modelled on Adrian shooters B class with tender .It was built for my other half as she thought it was wonderful !!! Not strictly accurate but I think it captures the look although I have compromised in a lot of ways

As you say not totally accurate, but non-the-less unmistakable.

That's lovely.... I've wanted to do an electric representation of a Darj B for years, still waiting for the correct size of Round Tuit to become available..... did you take any "in progress" photos suitable for a build thread?

Smashing - the original locos (without tender) were incredible performers with a fantastic exhaust note.

A lovely evocation of a marvelous loco
