Modify it into a more prototypical looking O&K steamer or something.

Damn No1 wife will not let me squeeze in any more train stuff into the car for this weekend
I have a old 12v loco whic I fitted with a 9v battery and a Cambrian Speed controller...very tight but runs very well....I need to re work it
Lots of lines had O&K locos inc british (before WW1) and many were modified, also Barclays build a version for war time and Empire use (research WW1 locos)
Here is my version of the loco that ran at Pendeen quarry near Newlyn/Penzance
If you look back through old Sixteen Mill Today mags there are quite a few...and were sold as sets in the 1980's For £24..loco trucks and track...what a starter set
