[kovacjr]

Well I had some time so I started building the lil critter I wanted to build with the LGB 2 axle motor pack I have.

Here is the start of it.





And here is the article I am using for the plans

That is a beautiful little switcher. What scale is it?

PS I couldn't bring up the plans either.

The scale is 1:20.3, the orignal is standard gauge but since my rolling stock is not I had scaled it up a bit.

As far as the article it is a PDF is anyone else having a problem? It opens fine on 3 computers I tried. Here is the shortcut to the PDF though

Well I am still away on business in Boston now, and wishing I could be home to work more on the switcher as I have now the parts I need to do some more. I am deciding on battery power and am thinking on making all the loco's with a power plug and have the radio and batteries on a trailing car. When I get back home next week I'll have to take a few more photos and post here.

Is anyone else doing this or do you mostly have multiple radio's batteries? This I think would cut down on cost for having 3 loco's now. And a trolley in the future but that will be turn on and run I hope.
