Some progress over the last couple of weeks.

That is all the electrical equipment installed oh the frames. A bit tight but it can be got at and maintained if anything breaks. The connector on the right is for the lights at the cab end, the hood end will be hard wired. Power is switched from a small push button above the uncoupling servo positioned so that it is just under the exhaust pipe and can be controlled with a cocktail stick.

The main body sections. All silhouette cut in 10 thou styrene and laminated. As ever I have made use of magnets to hold the major sections to the frame and attach the roof. The cab floor has some thin tinplate in with the laminations so the driver with magnetic feet can be moved about.

A handy wooden box and a few components for the controller.

Body detailing next.
