Converting New Bright and being new to 'G' Scale

Um Phantom...... wot's an M-80? <br />I guess cost is a big factor for me at the moment since just getting the 'Heritage' No:8 loco, as well as an Aristocraft 0-4-0 switcher and a Hartland HLW 0-4-0 loco (which are still on the high seas) has cost me quite a slice of my pocket money budget for the year. No:8 is going to get quite a bit of detail modification, - much of which will be handmade, - as well as a full paint and weathering job. Both the Aristo and the HLW locos are going to get modded so heavily that their makers wouldn't recognise them even in a good light. <br />The only trouble is I look at No:8 in all her pristine glory and I feel terrified to even make a begining (eek). What the New Brights will enable me to do is get the feel of 1:20.3 scale and being daring with a razor saw. If I totally mess up a New Bright I can simply toss it all in the scrapbox and chalk it up to experience, - if I mess up No:8 I'll cry (sniff). <br /> <br />Annie.
