On a whim, while ordering parts from Bachmann I stumbled upon a small 0-4-0 powered chassis for $30USD. I figured it would come in handy for something. Only 1 wheel is powered by the motor so side rods were a given. Now the wheels are smaller than scale, and I haven't any more small wheels until the next order so it will remain without its rear pony wheels for a while longer.
Eventually the cab & water tanks will be painted green to match #5 at the Maunu Museum in Whangarei.I was inspired enough to even print a small covered wagon

| Painted to match #5, the blue carriage is coming along nicely, it would be a shame to not have the second carriage. |

| The 4 wheeler carriage now has steel free running wheels, kindly donated by a recent Marklin 4 wheeler carriage purchase from https://www.constellationhobbies.co.nz/ The brake rigging was also good, so had to cut them off also, the quality of Marklin stuff is amazing. |
