These two little gems are from the old Playmobil train set. Both are 20 years old (just a tad older then me)! The electrics are completely knackered aswell! :( But that doesn't matter I got some ideas for these little beasties! ;)
The powerplants and wheels ect are all in one drop out, so one simply needs to make 2 new chassis and powerplants! :)
The steam engine is being stored for now, the diesel (being the scruffiest but in good mechanical condition in regards to lights) will be attempted first! :)
Hopefully sound can be put in these (along with a repaint) to make these ancient haulers running again! (these are THE original LVLR engines when it was 45mm gauge).
Hopefully you'll all be interested! :)
Apologies for the poor picture quality! my camera doesnt like black or bright colours!
