Question Re: 10183

[Melfice]

So, I just recently ordered 10183, and I was planning on making the DMU (Model 22). I also have plans to tweak it considerably, including working interior lighting as well as front- and rear lights. That is something for the future. however.

My question, for the moment, is: After I've built Model 22, would I have enough parts left to create, at the very least, a small shunting loc, or maybe a wagon of sorts?

I'm happy enough with the DMU by itself, but if I can expand my "collection" of cargo wagons by just one (even a small one) I'd be even happier.

Thank you very much for the answer!

You will have four wheel parts and four buffers with magnets left over so you should have enought for at least two small cars, provided you have enough other parts such as plates to make the bases.

Thank you! That'll all work out then.

After motorizing it (which brings it's own problem, in the case of #22 I've already noticed. Should have ordered 2 of the RC motors to even it out, I suppose. Ah well.) that means 6 wheel parts then?

Heh, spare tires.

EDIT: Just printed the 83 pages for model 22, so I could go and build the model on the dinner table.

Resolution's so low, I can't make out the a lot of the details. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

On my bed with the LDD file on my PC screen it is then, I suppose.
