Hello! As some of you know' i have got my rapier, and i couldnt wait to get stuck in, so here is some of the build so far!





And after litteraly running to my local model shop, i bought some paint!



The controll panel will be working, with a reverser switch and a special button... which ill explain at a later date...

Sweeeeeet! Have you watched my Rapier build videos on YouTube? The mods look similar to mine

You cought me! i was watching yours while i built it! The battery pack is no longer needed as ive found some rechargable packs of batterys out of an old helicopter

So hello... Thought id put a quick update seen as though its very nearly finished! So here we go....





And before i show the next image, Yes... yes the roof is a train ticket, My dad threw away the propper one that came with the engine.

Cool

Nice looking little loco you have there. I bet the ticket was easier to stick on the cab!

Not as good as yours but i still like it! The train ticket was fairly easy to put on but when i put the elastic bands on to hold it on the back cab pulled in abit and stuck to the roof so the cab issnt straight!!!
