LocoWorks - Odin goes battery/RC [2] .. out with the plasticard

Today it was time to get the plasticard out...

Rather than dispose of or hack about the Playmobil 'footplate', I decided on a simple cover up job to give me a good flat surface to add on to.....

The advantage of keeping the Playmobil 'footplate' in place makes it easy to take out the motion if I need to replace it.
checking a standard Playmobil battery pack fits...
While I was at it I decided to tweak the tender to widen it slightly to make it more in keeping with the width of the loco...
Trial assembly of all the bits ... the aerial pokes through the top of the saddle tank at the front...
lots of bits to do... remove the buffers, add couplings.....etc...
