Time for another update.
Yesterday, I painted the head.
Thinking of redoing the eyes, what do you think?
A few years ago, I got a plastic battery-powered train set with all the tickets I won at an arcade. I was looking in my shed today and found the engine from it.
Now the cowcatcher on this was perfect for Tillie, so after breaking the cowcatcher off by hand (it wasn't very strong plastic), I ran it under some hot water and trimmed off the excess plastic with some kitchen scissors.
It's currently being temporarily held on with blu-tack.
I've also decided to postpone anymore modifications until I get someone to look at the motor.
