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!
