Firstly - a massive 'thank you' to arockStone for the wonderful Diesel Loco model! My small modifications would never have existed without such an excellent starting point.
My small garden railway is 32mm gauge, and to emphasize the 'narrow gauge' character of the loco I decided to modify the chassis so I could move the frames closer to the wheels. This meant modifying part 1 from the frame_1b.stl file to reduce the width. As I print in ABS, there's also a potential warping issue with the raised portions of this part so I split the long flanges into separate parts (base2.stl, 2 copies needed) which can be glued to base1.stl.
Having started making changes, I then got a bit carried away...
Frames (frame_V4.stl, 2 copies)
Buffer beams (buffer.stl, 2 copies)
Hood
I wanted somewhere to hide the batteries, so made a console to fit in the cab. There's room to fit a double AA battery holder inside. The console consists of
And for a few final details
Note - I have only provided STL files for my modifications, so you will need to download the original model by arockStone (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2109286) for the rest of the parts.
Last of all - thanks again for the original model without which none of this would have existed.
