LocoWorks - Odin goes battery/RC [1]

 Back to the loco works for a change to an engine I acquired three years ago.  The change will be to my 0-4-0 tender loco Odin, to make it battery powered and radio controlled.

I'm going to use a Playmobil RC chassis and replace the existing LGB track powered chassis; some adaptation will be needed.

Odin taken to bits....
The Playmobil chassis,  I'll have to make a hole in the loco body for the aerial to go through..
First trial fit of the loco body to its new chassis..

Quite a lot to do to get the loco to fit right onto the new chassis... plus a better coupling system with the tender (or a fudge as before 😀 )
