Indexed by Moderator - Merry Christmas!
Hello Everyone,
this Christmas under the tree I will place my new MOC: a multipurpose diesel locomotive.
Inspired by Steinkopf and his maintenance vehicle: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=75971
I've realized a shunting tractor for my PF layout; my model is a copy of the TM III working on Swiss railways.
For the joy of Roamingstudio this tractor is red with a yellow crane!
The real challenge was to realize a little locomotive with motor, battery (...and lights of course! ) hidden by the the smallest structure I have ever built.
Having to give up with the IR receiver I've designed a transmission with low speed and high power ratio to drive the shunter with manual controls.
The motor start with an "on-off-on" switch and the lights with an independent "on-off" switch.
The four lights are all white because the vehicle works in both directions, but in the tools compartment I've put two red round plates to use red lights when necessary
Now enjoy the show ...and Merry Christmas to you all!
