Thanks Rik i have chosen a Fordson Rail tractor at Millang Railway museum in South australia to scratch build in 16mm, because of the large size of the tractor in real life i can have plenty of room to fit a Reciver, Motor, charging switch and battery's in between the frames because it will be 45mm gauge so i have plenty of room, im thinking of either 3D printing the tractor body to 1:19 or getting a commercial tractor and cutting of the wheels and using the body Gearbox and steering wheel in the loco, i have dicussed this with some friends of mine and they reckon its doable, heres the link to the preserved Rail tractor im basing mine of so you get a idea for size http://www.milangrailway.org.au/milangwebsite_006.htm .
Thanks Rob I’m looking forward to seeing your Lyn converted to Battery power , I have one myself too Runs well , thanks Peter for the lovely comment I have been planning out where everything will fit and everything can fit inside the frames Ok.Peter Butler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:22 am I like the tractor idea Mitch, that's my kind of loco.
thanks rod for your lovely comment, i dont think this extension will take as long as the main line did to build!.
