Getting the mechanical bits read for this loco was simple. I already had a chassis which rolled when pushed along the modelling boars so all I had to do was make up the motor & gearbox and pop them in - oh, and make up the crank axles too.
There's loads of space in the bonnets of this model and if I'd had to go and buy the bits for powering it, rather than using those to hand, I'd have been very tempted to stick a 2-stage box in. The model mustn't be geared down too much though. The prototype had a 40mph top speed so the model needs to be able to go faster than walking pace.
