Old rusty little tank engines

I'm doing a few activities on the Thaxted line that may come to something or may not. Anyhoo... The setting is that it is now a preserved steam railway with lots of small tank engines. I need a loco or to that look in need of a big restoration. ie covered in rust, missing bits etc. Doesn't have to do anyhting, just sit and look sad in a siding.

well you could do a reskin, or ask sombody nicely...

but i dont think there are many around at the moment from what ive seen. i think it would look good tho.

I'll take the second option. So Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please (I think you get the idea now) can someone do a reskin of either some little 0-6-0 or 0-4-0 to look like its just sitting in a forgoton siding as I hate the drawing programs.

Errr,and whatever you do,dont pick a j94

(try that for the main operational loco!)

You read my mind, thats 2 of the 4 locos that you use in the activities.

It'll have to wait a bit longer, the biggest of all the 6 activities corrupted itself so I had to start work on it all over again and trying to replicate all the general cluter you get in preserved railway yards takes its time

Try contacting user Wookey, he's got some dead rusty tank engines on his dockside route.

Paul, that looks a bit like a GN tank?

Paul, is that your rendering of "The wreck of the Hesperus?"

Love the O1, by the way, thanks ever so much for your efforts.

Did anyone spot the BR O1? it lasted about an hour before it was bumped off the newest uploads this morning.
