Hi there Mick (Trammayo)........have spent the morn playing with Li'l H motor.........wasted.......it, together with wheels now reposes at the bottom of garbage bin............I have a tentative plan of operation...I have had good results with Piko units.so have ordered next one (0-6-0 ).....they are all rather large and to fit I will remove middle section of chassis and join with two aluminium strips to fit motor unit........boiler /fire unit will still fit with adjustment and cab unit from other Li'l freighter will be adjusted to fit............New Year by the time motor unit arrives so will have plenty of time for more ideas.......
knocking up another cheepy engine but one that operates smoothly....powered with new Piko 0-6-0..built on Playmobil chassis...front end Chinese toy rubbish with the Bach cab......still some minor touch up but at least it goes which is more than I can say for the original..........
These are my work horses...line up will give a bit of an idea of lay-out...just make out some other hosses to the left in the paddock........cottage deck around four sides plenty of shelter and still outside.....actually have 3&1/2 acres to play around ...am thinking about a line around the lake............thanks all and Compliments of the Season to all............Mardy.
