The yellow peril (Part 1)

Here is a BRM project that is a little more challenging than usual, primarily because it fits into the ‘it was never designed to do that’ category. So just what is this practical BRM project?

To model a Road-railer, part of the Story Rail fleet.

Using an NZG Liebherr A900C diecast model to the scale of 1/50, the aim is to illuminate and motorise this little model for O gauge…and why not?

So, if you would like to follow progress on this project, keep coming back to this BRM blog where I shall try and update it!

The completed project will appear in BRM very soon.

 

Any comments are welcome!

Don't forget to have a couple of Pway workers at on top of the cab ;)

 

I also thought NR had banned the use of log grabs for moving rail sections following an incident a year or so ago ....

I was planning on putting a driver in the cab (although one on a diet as this is a 1/50 model and it's a squeeze), but I hadn't heard about the log grabs...this photo was taken in mid- August 2013, so possibly before the 'incident'... who knows?

I did not know they made black beetles that big?

 

No use of black beetles on this project Pete.
