IP Engineering Simplex

Great wee kits are these IP Engineering Simplex locos and your enhancement really finishes it off perfectly

That's a super little loco, hats off to you ! My simplex kit has been bumped up the "must do" list as a result. Do you intend to add a driver?

Do you intend to add a driver?

I've got three Fimo shortlisted candidates going through the evolution process. The cab is a bit tight so not found a commercial figure who fits.

BTW - she's constructed to run on my 32mm feeder railway for the Copper Mine, but I spoke with Ivan yesterday and a 45mm gauge chassis is on its way - so if/when I fancy running her on the main railway it should be a simple process of whipping out one chassis and exchanging it for the other. Just two nuts hold the chassis in place.

A blow-by-blow account of the build has now been posted on my blog for those who might have an interest ....

A nice blog - well detailed too. I don't know why I had it in my head that the chassis would be laser cut ply, for it looks quite a substantial kit.

Nice work - I like the results!
