interesting concept ,is there more body work to come?
I do not want to offend you and I apologise if i do but it looks like an ugly duckling but would be greatly improved with a cab .
now i will go and sit in the corner until I am allowed out. |

Yes I know who you mean, I have been in contact with him about his! Hope to bring it down tomorrow but not sure, its that to look pretty or another loco to play with.
With regards to its looks, its may well be a ugly duckling when theres somthing unique its called "individuality"

heres the beast on my railway accompanied on its maiden voyage by the tetley tea band who played long into the night on up the line halt!
all did not go to plan as the chain keeps jumping off in forwards but I have had a little bit more sucess in reverse!

Maybe some guides or tensioners for the chain... Not sure if you can remove a link.
