Interesting idea for a Mamod replacement cab

Check this out, the IP "Lucy" (battery diesel) cab Vs. the Mamod one. Would give a nice open back, would look great on a tender type loco.
The only tough bit is the cab is narrower than the Mamod one, and I am not sure if IP sells these alone?
Yes, notice fruit is involved.....

That needn't be a problem, a lot of LBSCR locos had cabs narrower than the tanks...have a look at
my photos of
Fenchurch and
Birch Grove at the Bluebell Railway's Branchline Gala to see what I mean...

This is worth considering if I do a 'super-mamod', thanks!

I like the look of that!
May have to try it on COS
