There's a controller of unknown parentage lurking within a cast aluminium box, with standard hand held remote with forward\/reverse switch and speed control knob. There is a loud air horn mounted under the bonnet and a powerful headlight up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Dashboard houses a meter showing battery voltage and current draw. There are a pair of batteries - one at the back, the other at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The locomotive runs forwards and backwards, horn and light work - indeed, the builder has been using it until recently. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    However...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The wiring is a complete rat's nest - badly laid out, badly routed, badly terminated everywhere and way too thin for the main battery cables. So horrible, in fact, that I daren't even let Colin, our electro-tech supremo see it for fear he'd have a funny turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Not a difficult or expensive job to do, just a matter of pulling off each piece of wire in turn and replacing it with something new, thick and with a proper terminal crimped on to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Worth doing - it's got the potential to be quite a useful hauler.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020218683733,"sku":"8417","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/8417-1.webp?v=1779911906","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-battery-electric-0-6-0-shunter-stock-code-8417","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
