Geoff's 45mm train in a garden

This is a fun train I made up to run on 45mm track at a fellow member's garden railway.   My garden railway is 32mm so nothing would fit!

The loco is a LGB Steinz 0-4-0 chassis with a resin body cut down from a GRS stock item.  It is not based on any prototype but could possibly make a good power unit for a railmotor - now there's an idea for something to do on a dark winter's night!

The electrics in the loco have been modified, switchable between track pick-up or by link cable to the batteries in the leading van.  This van is fitted with two switches - forward/reverse & fast/slow each with centre off.

The other wagons in the rake are standard LGB items.
