Interesting project, and very clean work.

The cow catcher really turned out nice Tim. I can appreciate how difficult it was to get the spacing and angles on the parts perfectly aligned. Any misalignment would have stood out like a sore thumb.

I haven't done anything to the tender except shorten the length, but I wanted to mount the receiver, battery and power switch. The servo mount worked good. The 9v bat is slid in through the water fill hatch. I'll get some black heat shrink for the plug lead from the tender to loco. A test run proved all is good to go mechanically. I mounted the power switch upside down so a finger tip flips it on/off from underneath the tender.

I'm liking this deep dive and I can tell you're lovin it too.

Making it run well, robust enough to be handled plus scale looking is testing my skills!

Tim is this just on off or is there any speed control?

This is just cool! Rock on, Tim!

And that's where the fun is, imho, right where you're at. Ruck On!
