The Yellow Brick Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I'm currently working on a small (winter) train MOC and I need some help on how to to hide the Power Functions rechargeable battery box. I have tried putting it in the Passenger car, but it was to big, and I have also tried putting it in the tender and again it was too big. So I was wondering if anybody has any tips on how to hide it . Edited November 28, 2010 by The Red Brick Quote
Toastie Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Would you allow yourself to put colored adhesive film (it could be viewed as a large "sticker" ) on the sides/back/front of the PF battery box? This is what did on the tender of my motorized BR23 copy: Top left is the original 4 wide coal box, below is the hollow version to be filled with the battery box ... That way, the battery box "fits" into the tender - well it becomes the coal box I am aware that the BR23 tender is probably much larger than what you are thinking of; my point is coloring the 4 studs wide battery box and leave it exposed. Good luck with your project! Thorsten Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted November 29, 2010 Author Posted November 29, 2010 Thank you for those idea's Toastie, I might use the 'sticker' Idea but maybe add a Christmas presant design on the sides. After all I am making a winter train . Quote
Fistach Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 You can put it in the middle of the locomotive, between the axles. If you put it very low (behind these items that are between the axles) you will have plenty of space on top of rechargeable battery. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 What about putting it on its side? That would make the train to wide Quote
Toastie Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Thank you for those idea's Toastie, I might use the 'sticker' Idea but maybe add a Christmas presant design on the sides. After all I am making a winter train . Well, that is something - just put the big black sticker on and then a Christmas tree or Rudolph or Santa sticker on top of that - did TLC think about this already? Multiple layer stickers? Cool! Like the idea very much - may do something like this for my models as well Have a nice Winter Train Time! Thorsten Quote
