Hi all,

well this morning I fitted the circuit boards for the lights inside the loco.
Temporary connected to my power supply to test.
Decoder will go in later.

Hi all,

first Led is in the headlight.
Has to be positioned carefully and secured with clear coat. This allows me time to get it positioned nicely.

Hi all,

last night I started with the wood paneling in the cab.
Also a nice way to hide the wires for the cab light.
I also cleaned and painted the headlight reflectors white.
Now to carefully glue the tiny Led's into the headlights.

Hi all,

unfortunately I have had to strip the tender body again as I've had a mishap
with the painting process.

But I've now painted the loco body and cab.
Next step is to get the Led's into the lamps in front and the cab.

It's coming together very nicely! Well done so far.

I might have missed it somewhere but I saw no centre pickup on the loco, or will that go to the tender?

Thanks Ed,

it's a Fleischmann loco for the Märklin system.
Pick up shoes is under the loco chassis from the factory.
