Eastleigh by Ian Holmes

When you start to take an interest in miniature railways you start to realise that there are many interesting looking locos out there. Some of which will just "get under your skin" and you find yourself drawn to modelling them. The Eastleigh Lakeside Railways locomotive "Eastleigh" is one such locomotive. 
The under construction photograph shows that it is made from styrene sheet and sections places onto of a cheapo Bachmann Bo-Bo chassis that came in an "N" scale trainset Which is a super smooth little runner. The rather unkempt driver figure comes from SLM figures range a fellow called "Dutch". He hides the loco chassis and motor block.There are many other miniature railway locomotives full of character like this all you have to do is find them.
