Moving slowly onward with my battery/RC conversion of a Bachman L’il Big Hauler tender loco.
Today I decided to do something about the chimney, which Bachman placed aft of the cylinders — probably to accommodate the enormous headlamp. Since I like neither the lamp nor the chimney position, I got out the saws
and removed first the lamp
And then the chimney
which can now be lined up with the cylinders. Much bodging and filling to come.
I also plan to remove that horrible bell.
And I did.
