That is brilliant!
With first grandchildren due to make an appearance in the next few weeks, I'm wondering if I should accumulate now, for the future! :)

Thanks DaveWatkins, I'm not sure I would have been brave enough without help!

As you will see the chassis fits, sort of, either with the motor in the boiler and possibly the batteries in the cab roof or the motor in the cab and the batteries in the boiler.

I had been considering the HGLW chassis with a pony truck to balance it out, that might happen in the future when push along becomes less fun :) All look very good and I'm impressed at the people who have managed to get the plastic bits off without breaking them, mine was pre-loved and they had been epoxy'd back on at some point hence the filler job to get rid of the gaps :).

HGLW Chassis

Just a follow up to the HGLW chassis. As standard we supply a 2 cell AA battery holder, but if you want we can supply a 2 cell AAA battery holder in its place. Just let us know when you place an order.
We have both sizes in stock.

Regards,
David H.

I decided on an IP Engineering budget chassis in the end - seeing how simple it was has decided me to make my own in the future. The wagons have been made bomb proof (hopefully) as my grandson is only 28 months old. Colour scheme of the wagons suggested by his 5 year old cousin! The battery is going to have to go on the floor of the cab.
