Hornby Thompson L1 Tank

Thompson L1 with Zimo Sound and Lamps

Kit: MX648R; IceCube18X13X13-1W

With the 8 pin DCC socket removed, there is actually quite a bit of space in the bunker.

Example 1

Our customer has added DCC Concepts lamps to their model too...

Example 1

Cab roof off, and in go the crew, and the firebox light...

Example 1

Room for the MX648 and 13mm Ice18X13 to tuck up in the bunker. If you wanted, there is even room for a small stay alive, though there isn't one fitted here... probably LifeLink with 3x or 4x 470uF Tantalums would go in without much extra effort.
