adrian_dixon Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) This is my first attemp of powering the #4 hobby train with power functions. I chose this engine because i liked the look of it. At the moment i have just borrowed the motor, battery and IR reciever from my passenger train, due to the design of the engine there is not enough room for the battery or IR receiver so i have made a cargo wagon to house the battery and receiver from the left over parts from the hobby train set. It is nothing special and i will b definately changing the cargo wagon but just thought i would put a couple of pictures up. Here is the link to my brick shelf folder http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=458001 Edited January 12, 2011 by adrian_dixon Quote
JopieK Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 You might want to deeplink at least one picture since it will take a while before we will be able to access you brickshelf folder. Quote
adrian_dixon Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I was not really happy with my last effort of putting power functions in this train so After looking at the maersk train i borrowed a few ideas of it to fit the power function battery pack into the 4 stud wide body of this train. I used snot to put a plate over the side of the battery box, mounted the ir receiver in the cabin and made the top section removable to switch the battery box on and off. I am really happy with this setup but i still reckon i will be making some more slight changes. I just uploaded a couple more pics to my brickshelf gallery. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4853816 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4853819 Edited January 25, 2011 by adrian_dixon Quote

Davey Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Nice work on this one and converting it to PF. I'm still not sold on the cover for the battery box. I'd like to see that either smoothed out or extend down the entire side and actually make that main body 4-wide + 2 plates. I think it would clean it up a lot. Otherwise, really nice work. -Davey Quote
