The OO Works locos aren't too bad. It's certainly cheaper than building a kit! I just hope my budget can run to one. I missed out on thier 'Black Motor'! Now to start on my Chesham set of bogie stock!

Liked the caption to the picture:
BR C13 No. 67418 at Chesham on May 3, 1956 with a train of Metropolitan 'Dreadnought' coaches on the Chesham shuttle service pre-electrification
Surely Ashbury coaches.
Also why oh why a milled chassis block? Not good if you model in EM or P4
<edit> I know it is OO, but a non-milled chassis opens the possibilities of further sales!

I know the London Road Chesham Stock is available as complete sets, but does anyone know if anyone took-on the Joe Brook-Smith plasticard formed body kits for the Chesham set he used to produce? They were not at all bad. |

I have a set of those but the ones I have are modelled with the brake vehicle in it's original condition with 5 compartments and a smaller van. It was upon conversion to electric working that the brakes were rebuilt with a larger van area for the elctrical equipment and retained only four compartments. When reconverted for loco-hauled working they retained the larger van area. This is how the brake on the 'Bluebell Line' is today. The chance of having a C13 may make me look at modifying the one I have.

As for EM/P4 conversion, I think that the chassis uses Romford drivers so frame spacers may be an option depending on how the body is put together.
