RC Diesel (4) - Finally done...

I couldn't get the lights to work at all with the new speed controller; the wiring setup for it was not compatible with what was in situ and also one of the two light LEDs was faulty. So I opted to forego having working lighting (I know when I'm beaten 😭).

So on with finishing off....I repainted and varnished the loco body, then replaced the faulty on/off slider switch..

In the loco I made a couple of cradles to hold the speed controller and receiver, now everything is relatively neat and tidy....

Re-assembled and ready for its first run-test...

Engineering inspection first....

Running with the sound on...

I am so pleased to get to the finishing point of getting the new RC electronics working and the loco running 😀

Definitely a good learning project about how to put battery RC stuff in a loco.

I'm sure I'll do a few tweaks, perhaps a little bit more battery power for running to get a bit more speed and pulling power.
