Decided to copy some of the loco bashing i've been doing in the Playmo forum over to this one too, see what the reception of it is.
Started as a regular Playmobil DC steam loco
I got some spare boiler parts so had a bash at sorting one of the biggest aesthetic irregularities out on the loco, ergo, the funnel placement.
However, i've entered phase 2 and am going full RC (having made an RC/DC track power system which worked well but I still got bored of chasing track faults and I don't even have a permanent line yet)
Tore it all back down to nothing, wheels got re-quartered, as they were all over the place.
Motor block ready for RC. The lead clips are perfect for holding the battery in!
And I've lost a few more bits of trinketry from the boiler, the brake pump, tanks and dynamo are gone now, as I wanted to totally declutter the boiler as it's a dumpy little loco, too much gets a bit crowded on the eye.
Thats it til next time!
