Bachmann lil big hauler tender dimensions

[nicebutdim]

Hi, would anyone have the internal dimensions of the space (if there is any) within the tender of a Bachmann Lil Big Hauler locomotive? I'm thinking of converting one to RC. Does the coal load actually come out easily?
Many thanks,
Tim

Yes the coal load comes out easily, and i will try and get on and measure mine up in the next few days.

Heres the dimensions and also some photos are there always really helpfull

Length 104mm
widith 95mm
Height 31 mm.

As the pictures show, youc can get 2 layers of aa batteries arranged in a 6 by 2 formation so 24 aa's intotal, but thats not allowing any room for wiring.

And to dismantle the tender its simply 4 screws to remove from underneath.

and the coal load just pushes out from the inside.
Alao in the photos is a lgb fieldbahn bolster wagon, as it helps to provide a size guide.
