7/6/21 Update
ok first things first, my birthday is tomorrow (the 7th)
alright now to the funny talking trains with faces
Now if you remember my February recap video this Emily was shown:
Dug her out last night and decided to work on her again:
Modifications done:
- Motor Casing cut down so it can be wired up to the motor inside of Emily
- Tender cut down and ready to be reworked (tender lining needs to be reconnected)
- Tender sits higher and is now level with Emily's footplate as the wheels are superglued underneath which allow the tender to be higher up
- Space cut out inside to make room for a motor
- Emily's cab "bufferbeam" has been slightly cut out to allow for the rubber connector to connect up to the tender correctly.
Mods that still need to be done:
- Add a tab underneath to make Emily compatible with stopping rails, automatic switch points, and a few other action rails
- Wire Emily up to her tender
-- Add the terminals back into the tender so she can be wired up
- Rebuff her buffers
- Fix the motor into place
- Replace the rear tender wheel with another TOMY one
