This is beginning to look very like my latest Garden Rail series

Seriously, that's a really neat vehicle, Pauly.

I notice you use the same radiator material as I do - thank heaven for little grills

almost got it finished today but broke the motor trying to get the old gear off so will be a while until I ca finish it.

Its finally finished.
ended up having to rewire most of the electrics though

because the ariel for the controller is missing I have to follow the railcar round until I can get a new ariel

As a railcar 'expert' (well, I've built one, haven't I?) may I say that I love that. It's very like Peter Barnfield's other railcar.

If you haven't got an aerial, you could use a piece of springy wire or even a coat-hanger with a golfball on the end. Think battered old Cortina

For future 'improvements', how about a roof-rack and ladder?
