I think it has turned out well too Peter. Isn't plasticard a wonderful medium to work with?
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Good little unit - shows you can use the power bogie on its own as well as using the whole chassis like I did with the rail car
Where did I put that uncoupler?

It runs very well i have fitted a yatton RX1 unit
and a sound card,i think for what it costs is great value for money as a
basic power bogie.
