My other ACCUCRAFT, this time a Lawley DELILAH. Again, full 3 channel R/C, new coat of blue, and lining. It's starting to look like Doncaster works!.... She also runs like clockwork, but for longer! Much longer!

Roywoodmodels do them, though they're hard to find on the site! Direct replacement fit, 32 or 45mm gauge, I paid £6 per tipper, for 32mm gauge 2 axles.

It's a very powerful loco for its size, and very controllable down to a slow crawl. The chimney is the speed controller as supplied, turning it to effect movement, with a switch in the cab for direction. If you look closely at the photo of mine, you can see a grub screw at the base of the chimney wh...

Here's mine, MYFANWY, though sold on a while ago when I switched back to OO gauge, temporarily! It was a very powerful little loco, which could just trundle round at a steady pace with a relatively heavy train of wooden stock, certainly far more than she is posed with here.

I have one, DELILAH, photos in the link below, and its absolutely great. 3 channel R/C on reverser, regulator and whistle. Steams very well, hauls a very impressive load, has run on Mamod curves without fuss and I'd have another any day. Next!

SUNSTAR do a 1/24th scale Bedford OB coach and they're often on eBay and have featured on here as motorised projects but don't know of a larger scale one.
