On show at the Great British Train Show 2008 in Toronto.
#94 "Christopher" at Dave Knights light railway terminus "Nether Upton" with a short mixed train.
The loco is an Iain Rice 'Buckjumper' with a Scannell inspired CSB chassis. Once I had sorted an out of square axle, it runs smooth and quiet.
3F # 1958 was my first P4 model, consisting of a modified K's bodyline kit on a Perseverance chassis, with Gibson wheels, powered by a Portescap motor.
11217, is a repainted Dapol Pug with Ultrascale wheels.
SDJR 3F #24 is a modified Hornby body, again on a Perseverance chassis with Gibson wheels but with a Sagami motor through a NWSL gearbox.
It is painted with acrylic paints and needs some weathering to tone down the blue.
SDJR #61 is an old Airfix body modified to change the driving side, with a Perseverance chassis and Sharman wheels and Portescap stuffed in the firebox.
The tender is (I think) also a Perseverance kit, and has the two front axles sprung.
