Wow...I think you did a fantastic job with your original Tillie. Its so cartoon like and the Stack/Face is very professional.
I don't think I have ever seen an engine like your Bachmann 4-2-0 LaFayette before but I know that I love it now. I am assuming that since its Bachman that it gets its power from his wheels touching the energized rails. Might the contacts for the wheels be loose or somehow not touching the wheels properly or could be even a loose wire inside. At any rate, if you plan on her running after the remodel, I would put a hold up on any more conversions to The Little Train that Could until you have fixed the problem. If you wait until after you may have to disassemble her and ruining some of your work.
Such an ambitious project but seeing the talents that you have exhibited in the original project I have no doubt the remake of the remake will be great. Anxious to see the results. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Blue Plastic Tracks.
