A start of a new project !  A De Winton vertical boiler loco "of a sort" - a small diorama 1/24th scale -18in gauge (On3 bits)
I have found a few odd bods of this loco -One called "Arthur" water tank in centre and engine on the end and using a jack shaft drive
another (unnamed ) wheels inboard and 18in gauge and converted to run on Oil using a marine engine and a few others with that many different changes and modifications -so this will do me a small critter from the Huffikins workshops

Great stuff!, add rust and there's a superb little diorama piece. As Russ said your work is always very sharp and clean looking.

Vertical boiler loco ended up with the Marine engine version and gear driven - Nuts /bolts and rivets now added - but still finding more - bits removed and corrosion / rust added most parts just trial fitted (to aid painting - some just leaning) ready for the paint shop and the ditch were it will end its life  with the weeds

Nice clean work, except for all the corrosion which looks...corroded.
Someday I need to build an HO scale small steam launch. I'm marking this thread as reference.

Ray Dunakin

Excellent! How did you create the corroded appearance?
