Time for R/C:
As I have replaced the regulator for one of TTD versions it should not take much effort to move it so the micro servo should be sufficient. Hopefully, I can get away with just using servo tape to attach the servo to the side of the frame.
I will drill a hole through the foot plate and modify the existing Accucraft regulator handle to take a linkage rod connector.
Giving Ripmax a go this time servo wise as this was cheaper than the Hitec equivalent and even has metal gears.
Safety valve bonnet on order from DJB as well.

Progressing with the body kit although I am still trying to perfect my soldering skills:
The mini blow torch I bought does not get the solder hot enough and cuts out so I have gone back to the larger Go-Gas torch although having to be careful not to get everything too hot.
Having a wet rag to hand to cool parts after soldering seems to help.

I think I am finally happy with all the R/C gear.
The charge socket is flat against the body so you cannot see it:
The regulator servo along with the receiver, battery pack and on/off/charge switch is all hidden below (took a while to figure out the positioning of components, however, nothing touches the loco body and it's been fine during testing with no loss of signal/overheating:
