A while back Ralph Berg and I made a little trade, this is what I wound up with:
Now most of you know I really dig “little” engines, and this one was delivered just a week or so after I got my LGB Saddle tank 0-4-0… Last week we had some “warm” weather and I got out and sprayed a few coats of Semi-Gloss on the loco:
I thought this would look pretty good-it wasn’t long ago that Shawn painted his black and what a change it’s made to both the locos. Poor Photos throughout this post?! The thing about little locos is there’s sometime not enough room for the Batteries and RC Gear, so a tender is in order. This is my first Styrene Endeavor…I pressed rivets in from the rear for some added detail:
and another view showing the compartment for the batteries. The RC gear will go on-board the Loco. I’ll be using an EVO from RCS and a Futaba radio. This will be a “kids” loco.
based upon no specific proto, and built upon a HLW mini flat. I hope to finish the tender up over the next few weeks and then begin the RC install. cale
