Hi
Looks good.....they both do......talking of mines....theres a ready built one on the "P.O & N".......although I think its standard gauge.

An update from the workshop floor.
As some of you may remember, that preceding the release of the Battery loco, Bodgit & Scarper was experimenting with MSTS coupling issues. It was decided that we should build all our own stock with the same physics specifications so that we knew that at least these could be used within our own activities.
Below are a few shots from the workshop floor showing the â€œStackton Trestleâ€

Couple more, I have altered the wheelbase slightly and made a van body.
The next set requires a little more work for what I have I mind!

Robert, One of the advantages of building my own stock is that I can add any number of different loads (I know that this can be done with freight animation) not just the usual coal and ballast. See below.
All suggestions will be considered!

Spent a few evenings spent over the holiday messing with various freelance diesel designs, here is one of them. Based very loosely on a photo I have of an overhead electric 2ft unit, I have been experimenting with different types of bonnet, to suggest that the loco has been converted to diesel power!

Two more shots, this time I have worked the alpha channels for the cab windows to create a more pleasing affect. In keeping with the original photo the front of the engine will be the cab end!
I am now, probably going to make three versions of the same loco.
1, The original overhead electric,
2, The diesel conversions,
3, A battery powered loco, complete with tender for the batteries!
