Since a memorable holiday in Switzerland a few years ago I have been intrigued

Alas the available RTR such as hrf are astronomically priced, though superb model.
I have been discussing various possibilities with a friend Paul, who is a big fan of the WAB

the Fleishmann N gauge system to HOe.
The subject of how to recreate a little He2/2 has been a frequent topic between us.

The plan was that the body would slip over the fleischmann rack loco, the compromise being
that it is a 3/3 not a2/2! However once the skirts and bits were added we thoight it
would be hardly noticeable.
Here is my first attempt:
