One of my side projects is to rebuild the Fowler diesel mechanical I had made out of LEGO. I stupidly scrapped the first one to get parts for a ship and I since regretted it. I got to building the new model not too long ago.

LEGO Fowler 2.0 has revised body work and gearbox which should improve repairs (because the gears can break and the motor used is out of date). I haven’t completed it yet since I am expecting new parts which is different sizes to the parts used now. For now the battery box is to be pulled behind the loco, however I have my eyes on the parts to convert it to a remote control loco. The wire sticking out of the cab is the main wires to connect to the battery box. The gearbox is situated under the sloping bonnet on the front running plate and in the engine compartment is the motor. The cab isn’t finished and the running plate along the left side isn’t even there but it’s a work in progress and I hope to bring it with me to model events (hopefully one that is all about LEGO  )
