Scratchbuilt loco Scratchbuilt loco Scratchbuilt loco
I found 3 excellent scratchbuilt locos on the sales stand, well worthy of photographing. Chris O’Donoghue may be surprised to note the backdrop used to photograph these examples, and what a 3ft gauge Highland Railway 2-8-0 tender loco was doing at Shell Bay early in the morning goodness knows!
