battery kit locos

Post by Jay_Minor » Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:18 am

i have just made 1 loco, 1 carriage in 32mm kit form and repainted another wagon
i'm supprised how much these can pull along with such a small motor, my daughter will get hours of fun with this

I am sure all will get hours of enjoyment from them, they are lovely and quirky the Eezzee kits!

I don't know whether you've fitted a 4w drive kit, but if you do with a bit of weight you can get then to pull a really good amount.
