"VELINHELI" A Padarn Railway 0-6-0t (Another small Tankie!)

[Gareth]

For years I ahve wanted to build a model of one of these tank locos I think they have lot of character . Living very near the long gone rail way I have plenty of chance over the years to explore and very interesting to. ! Loco completely scratchbuilt on a heavily modified key models chassis (Thoroughly tested and checked for gearbox problems etc)

Loco is fully Mts with smoke still more research to be done apparently "VELINHELI" carried a large headlight front and rear when working qurrymans trains has anyone photo of this or knows where to get a photo slate museum has tried to no avail !

Nice one!

I have been part way through building a Bagnall 2-4-0 for the past three years - it's one of those projects that just keeps getting put aside for one reason or another.

When finished it should look quite like your 0-6-0 - hope it turns out as well as yours.
