Has anyone got a IP engeneering Shelly(looks like toby from thomas the tank)
I quite fancy one as I like the look of a tram plus my almost 3 year old would like it.always a good thing as this may keep wife happy if I spend out on a engine.

This looks like a good buy as I was watching it but can't justify the price at the moment:

I first saw it in garden railway mag and looked on the web page and thought birthday prezzie for me later in the year then while searching ebay found 1 but if it goes above my max then will just wait till later in the year and buy a new kit and make one myself..
Will also radio control it with 2.4ghz control kit(which is pretty cheap to get online)

I bought one when the new batch was announced recently. I prefer radio control so I spoke to Ivan (its best to ring him) and took the simple way out and ordered the stuff from him. I already have a suitable controller. All I need now is batteries and he advised me a suitable trader.
The tram is nearing the top of my 'to do' pile but I can say it looks a nice kit. I have read about changing the gears to brass ones supplied by Cambrian but I havn't looked into this.

I'm tempted to try and wood stain the body rather than paint it but we will see.

When IP say remote control ready, is this for specific kit?
