AC Railbus

Fuelled with post Scaleforum modelling mojo boosters, I've been having a play with the Heljan AC Railbus. Conversion is straight as per the EMGS manual sheet using Branchlines 12mm wheels. No real problems though I should have taken a photo of all the gubbins underneath before I took it all apart.

Once I'd worked out why I needed to put insulated wheels on both sides (ahem), it ran really well...

Also fitted with a driver and a couple of passengers. It'll look very nice on Wheal Elizabeth when it gets to Warley in November. Just needs a tail lamp and the wheels blackening.
