Groudle Glen Battery Electric

[Northsider]

This winter's project is just about finished -it just needs the r/c installing. Based on the Groudle Glen BEV/Wingrove & Rogers locos supplied in the 1920's, the model wears the livery the steam locos carried so that it matches the 7/8"ths scale Accucraft 'Sea Lion'. Steel chassis, brass footplate, MDF, ply and ABS body.

Where did the head/tail lamps come from, they definitely look the part?

 

[Northsider]

They are 3D printed, David. The lenses came from someone who once worked for Polaroid -I may have some kicking around somewhere, and can certainly send you the stl file for the rest.

Excellent, Patrick. The pair look very smart together.

This thread has reminded me...
Somewhere.... I have the makings.

I just need to find them, and get on with it!

They look very nice together.
When I finally get the garden finished and time back to work on modelling, my thoughts are to consider the version with the stabiliser wheels, for no other reason than to be different.

Where did you get the correct pattern couplings for Sea Lion from, and do you know what thread the bolts have that hold the couplings in place?
