Caravan needs a chassis to sit on its own wheels!

Caravan, or to be factually correct, the model of it, runs on a Kato 11-009 chassis of which have I already have several under the 3D printed 009 gauge locos that I have built over the past years or so.

Therefore, getting the couplings and top off the main chassis which is mentioned in the product description as necessary to make the chassis fit was a fairly quick job.

With that done, the supplied special motor keeper loop was added to the chassis.

With that done I just needed to cut off the two pieces on the underside joining the axle boxes together as a strengthener for the print whilst it was shipped to me.

The chassis then slid into its home nicely.

Once that was done I have a loco that can sit on its own wheels! Just needs painting and I need to find a driver figure for it. This could be an interesting project!
