Making progress. I ordered a new crimper for #4 and bigger cable attachments
(from http://www.powerwerx.com). I expect to start wiring the motor controller soon after the crimper arrives.
So, while I wait, I attached the newly welded electronics cage to the aft end of the frame over the motor controller and drilled out a coupler to fit the aft coupler pocket.
This is just another view of the back end of the engine:
All the electronics and the angle iron will eventually be covered up with a sheet metal tank...

Model railroading is fun but the work expands proportionately to the track gauge.

Re: 2.5" Narrow Gauge CliShay
Long story, but the CliShay is not in my possession right now.
To be continued at a later date.
