Very nice. Although not a pug feature I think the bunker suits it.

James Mackeown

Yes, not a pug feature, but it visually narrowed the proportions and gave a space to hide switch and charge socket. The pug has masses of space to hide the battery and receiver very easily leaving the cabin area completely free. The little dapol chassis is good but needed the motor glued as it

Thanks for the detailed views of the pugbash James. Excellent! I have put "Terrier body" on my "search find and keep" list for future attention!

Mick,
If you are coming up to Rainford, I have a Dapol Terrier body boxed as new, if you require one.

Stan.

James Mackeown

The original pug (I have four) along with a pecket. 00 gauge.

James Mackeown

The first Bagnall I built a year ago originally for DCC but found it wasn't reliable, stalling on occasion. At the time I was putting sound into everything.
Rather than dismantling the loco to install RC I built the radio, booster (not necessary really) and a 100mah battery. Switch on rear and charge socket underneath. A small plug attaches it to the (or any) loco.

The switch is very visible in the spotlight photo but otherwise hardly noticeable!
Equally the connection to the loco goes unnoticed

James Mackeown

Finally, the loco that set me off on RC 009..


James Mackeown

Recently I added an in off switch.
Body needs repainting soon!

James Mackeown

You can just see the switch undrrneath (under the boots of the driver...)!

Good grief, it's not often one comes across a standard gauge version of the Dapol pug.................. ;D

Many thanks Stan. Can't confirm if I will get to Rainford yet due to the usual constraints in my life, but it is certainly a do that I would like to get to and well worth the journey. Hope to see you there!
