Following on from the other thread https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/does-anyone-know-anything-about-this-model-please.308383/#post-466212 where ths loco was identified by Neil Robinson as a Dick Kerr 1st WW war petrol electric loco, here are the other pics of how I went about adding battery R/C.
This is actually a quite large model. Seems to be very 7/8th..ish so it is big enough to install AA size batteries.
I inserted a sheet of styrene in the top of the frame. A small oval speaker was fitted to the floor.
To keep the costs down I used 3 x 4.8 volt 1,600 mah AA NiMh Rx battery packs glued together and wired in series for 14.8 volts.
The OMEGA-3v8k ESC is mounted on a vertically mounted scrap of styrene. The Auto Bind DSM2 Rx beside is beside it.
The MyLocosound was mounted on the other side of the vertical styrene.
There is a smallish instrument motor mounted on the floor of the cab. Alongside are the ON-OFF switch and battery charge socket,
The underside view reveals how the double reduction chain drive is installed. The gearing is quite low and the performance is superb. Run time will be at least 2½ hours with a light load.
I would like to know what scale the model is. The door at the back is 92 mm (3' 6") tall. I believe it was made by the New Zealand Model Company.
P.S. It has now been determined that the model is indeed 16 mm scale.
