A bit of 08 progress

After cleaning the weheels and adjusting the pickups, the chassis now runs very nicely (it was pretty much just collecting current from the centre wheels only!)

 

I have made a start at modifying the lighting arrangements to match the prototype, so the top and middle lights have been removed, as have the associated conduits. I fear that this is going to require a repaint though, the blue I can cope with, but I'm not too keen on doing the wasp stripes! Ah well, we shall see what happens. I'm also considering fitting lighting to the remaining headlights, one red and one white (or a yellow LED as it'll probably be)

 

The main bit of progress has been in replacing the handrails with wire ones, as can be seen here

Looking good the comment about the pickups may explain why my recent acquisition runs a little roughly... I'll strip mine down soo... when I get a chance and take a look.
