I am currently building a Y6 tram loco in "G" scale. It will be a look alike rather than a scale model. The loco will have the facilities for both track and battery power and is being made on a Playmobil chassis. All the white plastic is new, and is old ice cream tubs.

Interesting

Will you be using the ice cream tubs to build the body too? Great idea.

Yes I will, but they will be disguised with real(!) wooden planks so you wont be able to see it

Ace! This is going to work out quite cost effective!

Well aside from the playmobil chassis, the two switches were £5, i had the battery charger and the batteries came to £12.99 and the planks will cost £2.99, so just under £20. I wont be painting it or sadly keeping it

since its for another forum member.

But if ever you fancy a good guitar (or amp for that matter), be sure to give me a shout
