So a new chassis and they may as well sling a new body on top! https://support.Hornby.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016345980-Train-Set-Standard-0-4-0 I think some have the contact springs making direct contact with the motor brushes Edited December 1, 2023 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are supposed to be for newcomers, not those that can do electrics. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the 'Smokey Joe' type, no I don't think they ever did. I can't find it now, but I'm sure somebody on RMWeb modified one to look like 'Trojan' GWR 1340 now preserved. https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/59/1340-trojan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunalastair Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Does this count? Model was primarily NG (the so-called Winchburgh electric railway, a shale line in West Lothian) but I wanted a SG light loco to sit on the short bridge on the SG line put in to link the E&G to the Forth Bridge. A Hornby CR pug with a repaint, handrails and a wooden 'tender' provided an approximation to an NBR 'G Class', as licensed by Neilson. The originals lasted into BR service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBR_G_Class 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
