The body is made up in my usual way, 10 thou styrene cut by the silhouette and laminated to form the structure. The mechanism takes up about 2/3 of the volume so I had room to form a simple brake compartment. Never all that popular in the UK, but quite common elsewhere in the world.

 

Four 2x2 mm round magnets hold the body on, as in the loco these carry the current for the marker lights at the ends and the cab light. The leds have come out very bright in the photos, much less to the eye.

 

A couple of photos

I had a plastic box spare, not too large so I made the controller in that. As it happened I had a duff torch sitting on the bench so I took the led module out and built it into the controller, useful sort of thing to have round a layout.

A train. Not quite enough stock for a layout, but it is a change of scene for me.
