There you might have an issue as HO/OO locos are going to look very much underscale in 28mm. Is scratchbuilding a small (0-4-0) pannier or saddle tank loco out of the question?Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 12:02 pm Good work, now what's the best model to use approximating to a small French shunting locomotive circa 1940 that won't break the bank?

I'd think of this as a starting point but change out the wheels to something batter and cover the tank with a layer of card or thick paper to hide the gaps.Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 12:14 pm Actually, scratchbuilding is probably not a bad idea. I just need a second hand freight wagon chassis (cos' scratching wheels is a pain). Ok, that's a cool little project I can get into...
Yeah that's a nice one, I thought Sarissa had one but couldn't find it when I lookedFreddBloggs wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 12:31 pm Or this one.
