IIRC The tanks already have some extra steel inside, I may put some extra weight under the cab floor - would help a bit with the general weight distribution too, but thats a job for another day.

Titan, do you have any photos of the loco showing the cab interior and the linkage to the reverser at the front? Semi thinking of adding R/C to my IP Jane as it'd make running it a little more pleasant as the layout is at ground level and some parts are inaccessible - You can guess which parts it decides to stop at!

These are pictures of the R/C linkage:
The last shows the space on the right where the servo sits, the shaft just fitting through the hole.
The cylinder for the dynamo is in fact from a jenny wren, by Philcraft. I really hope that I can find the time to get it going, but too many things on at the moment!
