I will be making the coach shorter so that the roof is also the cab roof

[Brian Mosby]

made a start on the railcar solderd up the loco body & cut down & glued the coach togetter the coach is just sat on a old bogie for the photos & not the power bogie i still need to cut a hole for that in the floor

What do you all think of it ??

I love the idea, Brian. It's a nice small railmotor - putting all under one roof is a good idea. Have you got a power bogie already? I once made another railmotor using the same approach - a push chassis and a power bogie. However in my case the bogie is a cut down Fleischmann 7000 chassis which is rather bigger.

I'll watch this develop. Are you going to put a continuous frame under the loco and the coach?

I had a power bogie but its not got the humf to move the rail car unless i fill it with lead

[Brian Mosby]

Today i have not been felling to good so I been playing with this
1st i fitted the power bogie to the coach all ok on the straight but would not go around 9 inch curves(the loco was the problem & not the power bogie )

I then made the coach pivet on the back of the loco now all ok on the curves, But now under power i would need to fill the coach with lead to get it to move so i have just orded a Kato  11-105 chassis which i will remove one bogie then use to power the railcar & there are now 2 roofs

the loco is now finished & been primed ready for painting

heres some photos before primer

the coach body is now in primmer & drying

Looking very smart, but it's a pity you had to separate the loco from the coach. But it's more important that it will actually run!

I still need to fit out the interia & fit a coupling on the coach
