A venerable example of Maxitrak’s “Simplicity”
battery electric shunter. Designed to be configured for either 5 or 7 ¼ inch
gauge use, it is a large engine in 5 inch gauge.
Based on a cast alloy chassis, the bodywork in in
glassfibre. The single motor chain drives to the wheels, power is from a large
12 volt battery. The body gel-coat is still in respectable condition, the
remainder could be considerably smartened up with some judicious repainting of
the frames. Goes well, it would be a useful addition to a ground level garden
railway.
