Richard @theballastman.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Just another modeling project I completed back in November last year was my 5th and final attempt at a J88. It's made from a cut and shut Mainline J72 body and the Electrotren 0-6-0 chassis with some NB parts added to the body 030
Richard @theballastman.bsky.social · 02/01/2026I know I don't post as much here as I should but here's my latest project I've finally got sorted by numbering my J37 into LNER 30s livery earlier this week. I need to look at fixing the numbers in some places but I'm happy with the results 030

Richard @theballastman.bsky.social · 11/06/2025So I recently bought an EM gauge J37. It was a lovely model but as I model in OO I had to swap the axels over from EM to OO. Here is the loco running after swapping the axels over last night. She's missing her tender as I still need to swap the tender wheels over. 020
