Summary

A freelance locomotive designed to run using solar power. The Steeplecab layout allows three 45mm square solar panels to fit neatly on the locomotive. A supercapacitor enables the loco to continue running through shaded areas or under partial cloud cover.

Options are provided to include battery power, either as a switch selectable alternative to solar power or as a stand-alone power source. Red/white LED lights can be included as shown in the photos.

Additional external solar panels can be used to provide more power on duller days.

Please see the 'Solar Loco.pdf' document for full details of the construction of the loco.

I hadn't realised that Thingiverse no longer creates a ZIP file to download all files in one go. I've added All_files.zip which contains the PDF and all the STL files.
