Well, finally Parcel Force have delivered my Shay> thankfully undamaged (I was starting to wonder, with all the delay!). Lovely model, watched the 'lubrication DVD', and found the hundreds of extra bits I need to fix on it, including Mutt and Jeff, the driver and fireman, but I have a couple of questions to those in the know.
1) What sort of current does this 3 motored beastie draw?
2) How the hell do you get the aforementioned Mutt and Jeff into the cab? (And why has Mutt got a dirty great shovel on a Oil Burner?)

There are 4 small screws that hold the cab roof on, check the manual fot their horizontal position on the cab corners. Mind the glazing as it is retained bythe roof. No seat for Mutt.

Doubt it will draw much more than 2.5 amps heavily loaded up a curved 1in20 incline.
