A fugly little model I've done Little 0-4-0st No.1563: The Hodbarrow Avonside. This is built from a Oakhill Works SS with some modifications to the base to make it larger. I've spent a while bashing it, and it still needs some work, but I'm happy with it for the time

Ah, Ha, Ha, Ha, Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive! That’s right folks, several of our upcoming loco projects will be fitted with a stay-alive capacitor (such as the SECR O1 and Stirling Single). We have even managed to squeeze one into our upcoming AB Fireless.

Fuming that I didn't do a before picture, cause the glowup here is insane Guy came with a bright orange body, grey everywhere else and no chassis He's not quite done, but I'm rather happy with the result so far
