-KiHa 23
+====== KiHa 23 ======
+===== Notes =====
+==== 10.08.2017 ====
+{{ :railway_modelling:kiha23hom_original.jpg?nolink |}}
+Changed KiHa 23 brought from Japan trip to HOm gauge from HO. Now looks much better and closer to prototype.
+For this photo I have used [[railway_modelling:kiha_40|KiHa 40]] wheelsets, but eventually I have adjusted KiHa 23 wheels as well.
+==== 15.08.2017 ====
+I have cut plastic tubes on KiHa 23 wheelsets and adjusted axles, so KiHa 23 now has its original wheelsets changed to HOm gauge and [[railway_modelling:kiha_40|KiHa 40]] has its wheelsets back.
+==== 20.08.2017 ====
+Researched micro coil solenoids and old mobile phone vibration motors use for automating couplers and doors. 0.04 mm enamelled wire is available on eBay in 100 g 9 km rolls. Coil resistance should be between 50 and 200 ohms. Magnetic power is proportional to turns count and current value.
+===== Plans =====
+  * Add motor and replace or make one of the boggies motorized
+  * Change interior. Current interior has large cut hole for motor and steps for driving shafts. New motor will be placed under the floor, replacing current model of diesel engine.
+  * Add interior lightning
+  * Add DCC
+  * Add sounds
+  * Replace couplers with Kadee or make them DCC controlled
+  * Add exterior wiring
+  * Paint properly
+  * Weather paint
