CC65000 continued

Hello again. 

The CC65000 is coming along slowly, the body is perhaps 60% complete, and I've started on the bogies. These are recycled from a Kitmaster/Airfix/Dapol kit. I'm going to try and assemble my own drive mechanism... I may regret this. I had wondered about using bogies from the original Lima deltic, as these are HO (or not far off), but given the prices these go for on ebay, a lot of other people must have the same idea. 

2020 has left me with an interest in french trains, and I'm now planning a boxfile layout. This will need a handful of locos, and too much time on ebay resulted in me buying an old Mehano/RSO CC70000. The cab ends are wrong (but fixable), but the rest of it isn't bad. I'm not sure why it's red though...? My plan is to tidy up the cab ends, add some missing details, and paint it up in the correct blue/white/black SNCF colours. As an aside these were technically advanced locomotives when they entered service in the mid 1960's, and contributed to the development of the later CC72000. 

Stay safe folks.
