Standard LEGO battery box setup. (Might change it to PU or my own system)

This is the structure of the loco with the internal drivetrain. Motors and battery box have an easy release using modified plates/tiles

The Cab is complete, but may never be official because I would still like to play around with it.

The build is finally coming together, and I think I actually like it! My favorite part about this MOC so far is the front cone because it has a sleek design and looks simple, yet is pretty complex!

The Model is almost done! The only thing left to do is to complete the rear end and tidy things up! Should I save enough money to create this in real life? There would be about 1450-1500 parts and cost upward of $180 USD
