Here is a suitable scratch-built Taurus type electric locomotive in Czech painting scheme for modern era passenger train sets. As an experimental project this O gauge tinplate dummy model was made of laminated sheetmetal, assembled by using superglue (gorilla glue / gel and liquid) and micromechanic mounting screws. Few decorative details have been made of other scrap materials, such as plastic and cardboard. Only the replacable Bing-style couplers and the trucks are ready-made, but the underframe and the bodyshell with all attached details are handcrafted. The most challenging experience in this process was the shaping of the end-cabs.
