Boxomise: New Tram Loco for Beccles

Boxomise will be appearing at the Norfolk and Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers Exhibition in Beccles on the 1st June 2024.

I thought it would be nice to have some new stock for the layout. There isn’t enough time to create a lot of new stock, but I have managed to make a Nigel Brooks 009 Tram Loco.

Here’s the build… Click on a photo for a larger image.

This is the 3D printed loco body. A nice detailed print.
It’s designed for the Kato 11-109 chassis. I have a 11-110 which needed to be shortened slightly.
This old loco body was dismantled…
… to give a boiler for the inside of the tram loco.
A couple of Dapol figures will become the loco crew.
Here are all the components before painting.
Painting completed.
The parts were assembled to make the loco.
You can’t realy see the boiler 😦
I have finally found a use for the Dapol figure that is leaning on his elbow.

It’s always nice to have a new loco.

Now, with a week to go before the exhibition, I need to do some more work on the layout…

  1. Hi Stephen. Strangely, only the photos of original 3D print and discarded body are showing. the rest are blank. Very odd.
