Very Neat. I'd be interesting in doing a conversion kit if there were enough bits to make it worthwhile.

Agreed, looks very much like the USA tanks that worked around the Southampton area during and after the war. Good job, more please.

Very characterful, and a bold decision to convert the PIKO donor.

Definitely got the chunky look of the USA tanks used on the SR.

Nicely done Gareth....

You have captured those Southern Railway ex US tank feelings really well. You also must have a really steady hand!

Now that is just stunning! How much of it is the original model? Would love to see some how too's on how you did it.

I was just messing around with my BR80 today and thinking to myself.. With a bit of scratch building this could look like a USATC S100! I'm surprised Piko haven't made a S100 it could be used on any garden railway! As they was painted in all sorts of paint schemes from different companies and countries!
