Well I'd thought I would share some of my and my dad's lima bodging / anything else of period.
I do enjoy Lima locos and others like them , just something about them reminds me of my childhood and the fact that you create something unique to you as a pose to opening a box ( I do that myself ) .
This is all plain DC code 100 bodging so sorry no dcc , no sound and especially no lights..
My preferred time period I enjoy is 1968- 1973, an odd one I know but one that I think is full of colour , dirt , grot , and the shadows of steam .
So to kick things off here's a lima warship I've recently attempted to make a little different, yes I know it needs renaming and numbering but this is a loco that's cost nothing but a few hours saved from a bin , literally . I've replaced the lima coupling with a smaller bachman one , and filled in the front skirt and put some pipes on with a screw link coupling.
I've done a few other locos and stuff but if it's not the sort of thing this forum is into then I will leave them .![20230128_182913.jpg 20230128_182913.jpg](https://www.westernthunder.co.uk/data/attachments/179/179024-ec5809304ecb965e3e86c3c8cbeaa8bb.jpg)
