Inspired by the proven Ruby platform, the Ida locomotive is an ideal candidate for kitbashing and visual customisation. Its modular construction—with easily detachable sheet-metal components like the cab and tanks—reveals a fully operational chassis and boiler underneath, ready for a new body design. Whether you want to swap out the tanks for a tender, add pilot or trailing wheels, or completely reimagine the superstructure, Ida offers a flexible foundation for creating a one-of-a-kind engine.
