While a passing element on the double-tracked electrified section of Glenburn, the F Class Motor is a signature item for an inner East minor branch during this era and I had wanted to build one pretty much since inception of the layout. A HO model is a tricky proposition as it is very small and I looked across a very wide range of alternatives before settling on modifying a Bergs NSWGR F351 2-4-0 kit to the F Motor. While not a complex built it was intricate and I worked hard to get the feel of the loco. Build is as can be seen in the in-build pictures using a mix of the kit modified and scratchbuilt sections. Mark Tregoning's hand-turned chimney was a real bonus.
