Thank you all for your helpful replies - this gives me some things to think about. I will see if I can match the paint. Light Brunswick Green does look quite similar. Thanks for the picture Gralyn - that is a very nice looking loco and an excellent plaint job :)

Merlin locomotive - questions

I am just getting round to doing a full refurbishment of my Merlin 0-4-2 locomotive. Does anyone know the paint colour code or a source for it? I have tried Halfords but can not find an 'off the shelf' match. ./myff/1890037/Stoneleigh_2011+051+%28Large%29.jpg The boiler paint is pretty good so I was...

I have been working on this "MSSification" since January 2015. Here is a fully upgraded and gas fired MSS Saddle Tank with the PJLW 0-6-0 upgrade. All the rolling stock is fully refurbished with the carriage bodies colour matched to the loco. ./myff/1887129/SAM_1473+%28Large%29.JPG ./myff/...

I was going to put up a new post with some more models on it but have decided to extend this post instead - hence the post title edit to [the first 10 and counting!]. Here is another one of my red Mamod loco's - this time though it has a drop on piece of bodywork to mimic the saddle tank style. ./my...

RE mamods able to drive 060s - yep. They are. Superbiker helped me design the frames for my own loco. It's run several hundred scale miles so I'd say the PJLW principles are pretty sound.  8) Cheers Douglas :) thanks for that. The 0-6-0's are great little runners for sure  8) I always look forward ...

Seen some of these before, and they really are attractive locos. I think Rebecca is my favourite too! Are Mamods really strong enough to drive six wheel chassis? All round excellent Mamodifications and an inspiration to Mamod owners everywhere. :D Thank you Invicta. Yes I have posted about a number...

wow, very inspiring, any general tips or tricks that you used while modifying these locos? Thanks Joe. As for general tips or tricks this would need a post on it's own.

Very nice indeed. Whats the collective noun for a load of mamods? Is it a 'Conflagration'? :lol: Thank you Big Jim :) As for a load of Mamod's being a conflagration, well in my experience so long as they are gas fired then things are much safer :lol: I have had a few burn ups with meths fired ones ...

The mamod bash is particularly good. Anymore info on both of them? Hi Big Jim, the Mamod in the Hunslet style is one of a numbered series of 10 Mamodifications I have made. I have actually made more than that but i've stopped numbering them now :) ./myff/1882757/Quarry+Hunslet+Mamod+Rebecca+011+%28...
