Hi here is my take on  the claremont and concord except i only have a 45 tonner 

 

 

 

 

That loco looks like it was taken straight out of Derail Valley, (albeit a bit bigger).

Thanks  Nick .  it was built as a china  clay layout 1st off . and run with BR stock and rolling stock to match . but like with all my other layouts i do like to run stock from other countries . i would like to see the place you have mentioned  Derail valley  to see how it compares   as i really didnt base it on any one place  .

Derail Valley is actually a PC game, which can be played using a normal keyboard/controller input, or via VR. I have some videos of it on my YT channel.

Here is a present-day option for a compact US switcher. This is a TP56, built on the 6 wheel truck of an EMD SD40, that is similar to a UK class 66 truck (forthcoming from Dapol) with a shortened switcher style cab & hood. This is from the Facebook group, Switchers & Critters, which has lots of interesting material. There are 3D prints in N & Ho, I dont know about O scale which is a bit retro in US. 

 

Drawing here too.
