Looks darn' good to me!

Fantastic, @Darren.d. That will look great behind an O Gauge IRM 071 and some Heljan oil tanks!

[Galteemore]

That looks really good indeed - well done!

Cheers guys.iv a dapol 08 which im going to do a very lazy conversion and paint it black and add decals.was going to buy 2 heljan tankers this week but a hunslet and a park royal coach came a knocking for a payment.

Fun and games with a dapol 08 in the gauge of oooh.de badged,red buffer beams and the white bit over the windows.need to print some decals and some weathering and iv got D class ish shunter

The shunter is ddc ready i also bought 2 b class tankers from heljan and a smashing 30 ton brake from CK PRINKS.all 4 items bought new and cost 40 quid more than I paid for a dcc ready 071. 

This for me is not about accuracy it's just a bit of fun.

Bought a bullied wagon in 0 gauge from enda at CK PRINTS. A lovely peice of irish 3d printed craftsmanship .

[Darren.d]

This is my finished version of a D class shunter in 0 gauge.just need to seal in everything with a satin varnish when decals are dry.and then a weathering.printed my own decals and they came out ok.

Not to be taken seriously by any means I did this for a bit of fun.

Bit heavy handed with the airbrush methinks.Will tone down with some washes i reckon

Looks fantastic - con-rods were black anyway rather than yellow so it looks realistic enough. Question, though - how come the windows are blocked up - is this just during painting?

I would consider this myself to get Mr. Grandson interested; Enda's wagons are absolutely fantastic and a great start for anyone in "0" gauge.

An "0" scale "G" class would be a great thing to have too.
