The electric loco still needs a roof and solar panels but the kids are happy to drive it as it is. The gauge is 7 1/4" (If you have a train, are passing through this part of the world and want to run here please mail utube1 (Shift 2) btr dot cjb dot net.
Please see our other more recent videos for the panels.
For use on a public track the solar panels are just a novelty, but on our line we lift a 400Kg train about 8M so it takes about an hour to recover the energy used. This matches our duty cycle quite well.
