Meter gauge on a sunny afternoon

General Discussion
#1

So my little raised line is back in it meter gauge Austrian theme for awhile. Pics of the lines new 2120 Stainz #2 out on the line. Engine was miss listed on ebay, so I got it for under $100 shipped to me!!! Engine was mint in the box. I removed the track pickups and am running with a battery in the high sided wagon behind the engine. Need a container or box to put in the wagon to install the battery inside of. Then I will use a much thinner, black feed line to the rear of the locomotive. Stainz is to small to put my standard battery power in the locomotive itself. So, its best to(gulp), run a trailing battery car. Enjoy! Mike

Anybody here good with wood working that could build me a wood “crate” to fit in the green gondola to hold my battery and its power switch/charging port? Crate would need to have a removable bottom to change out the battery when the time comes. Mike

Mike, check out Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, they have little wooden boxes or “crates” for decopage (sp?) or gift boxes. You might be able to find something locally that will fit your gon

Sometimes you can find Te in small wooden boxes.

You could just make a lid for the car and turn it in to a covered gon.
