Class 08 Shunter Lego MOC
What I hope is the final iteration of my Class 08 shunter. All Lego, bar the connecting rods (3D printed), but I have "modified" a few pieces. The blue pins connecting to the rods have been shortened and holes drilled in the black plates behind. The hand rails are cut down aerials (although I built the model to accommodate 3L rods (87994) - I just think they look over-scale). The piping on the front grille is also a cut-down 22L flexihose (27965). Decals are O-gauge. I spray painted the wasp stripes, as the model is slightly over-scale and the decals I bought were slightly too small. At the front it's tamiya black on yellow Lego. At the rear I used a yellow sticky-back plastic and painted the stripes on that. Model is fully powered, but runs a 9V battery rather than the Lego battery pack. I'll upload a video of it running on track next week. Apologies for my poor picture-taking!
