An alternative use for a Barclay chassis

Paul Styles sent me these pictures of his Indian Baby Sivok, scratch built on one of my Barclay chassis.  It might look like a kit bash but was actually a real loco, built around 1950 using a contractors loco as a base and meant to look like the D&H Sharp Stewarts in typical colourful Indian paintwork.  It was built for an exhibition in New Delhi and has been running on and off since but spends most of its time on display.  Its a very nice model and makes me want one, well I have the chassis so that's half of it sorted.

One of the best KS 4415s so far

This came in for a chassis in 16.5mm, I normally get the virgin body, often direct from Floyd Kraemer but this one was finished before he asked me for a chassis.  Made by Chris Hasluck, the paintwork etc is all his and the transfers are from Elon Valley Custom Decals, normally 16mm scale but they made a 7mm set on request.  The pictures show it in all its glory from all angles.

3D printed chassis used under trams

Stuart Marshall has bought several of my Dick Kerr chassis with modified wheelbases and fixing points for use under trams, these pictures are of 3 of them.  All are based on Smallbrook parts, left is a water carrier similkar to that used in Dublin, center is a motor van based on those around Manchester and right is an unmodified Brill tram.

For those who are not happy with a plastic chassis, my Big Diesel Bogie will do the same job but is an etched kit that needs building.

KS Brazil Premier built by Ian Watson

This is owned by Andrew Shreeve and is the first of my Brazil kits to use the bowaters coupling box.

TR Barclay 1431 built by Chris Featherstone

It seems that quite a bit of the body was replaced, the boiler is solid bar.  These pictures were taken after a final assembly before dismantling again for painting, the cab rear and the angle section along the sides came out particularly well.

Joffre built by Pierre-Yann Bride

The rather nice turntable in the last picture is scratch built

Pike Bros wagons built by Paul Willitt

Serapis RAR loco with my chassis by Jurgen Heinritz

Kerr Stewart Brazil, my test builds

Kerr Stuart Wrens, Lorna Doone and Dryw, my builds

Wren built by Paul Holmes (with DCC, sound and smoke)

Feldbahn Brigadelok, my test build

A Swedish Brigadelok built for David John

The buffer beam arrangements were not as original and it had Swedish safety valves and an electric generator and lights, all of which had to be scratch built.

Peckett Gamecock, my test build

Barclay E class, my chassis and S&D's body

This was my test build, the one I take to shows.

Some Shapeways 3D printed locos

From top left are LKM NS2 and Schoma, Feldbahn Struver, LKM NS1, Jung EL105, Armoured Simplex, CKD 30R, Lord Raglan, Woolwich, 28hp Simplex,standard gauge Simplex and finally Mars.

All use my chassis, mostly 3D printed but the RAR locos and small Simplex are etched.

This is a Springside wing tank loco body not disimilar to the Bagnall loco Excelsior, the chasis is a modified version of my Sipat chassis.  It is not available as a kit but if you have one of these bodies, I can supply the chassis kit and advise on how to modify it.  I include it here as a lot of people seem interested in it and I hear that Springside kits are available again.
