Aha, pulled pork!

 

But seriously, how on earth did you do it? 

 

Great stuff, never mind cat videos on youtube, this is the video of the year :-)

How did I do it hmmmm.......some acrylic paint, a slice of Celotex type insulation foam carved into the sausage shape and a spare motor bogie fitted into it.

Don't worry no real sausages were harmed or wasted in the process !

So it's the motor bogie driving it then. I'm impressed by the slow running.

Hi Mikkel,

 

Yes, nothing special, it's one I found in my odds n'ends box so to speak. It was originally meant to be used for a project , a supplement to an HST power car I think, but quite frankly I was disappointed with its under-power. I hardwired a decoder to it which worked fine but overall I decided to go back to the drawing board. My main concern was its lightweight and I'm surprised with its performance in the ahem.....video!

If you're thinking along the lines of using one for a project I'd suggest a good running in to bed the gears in and add some more weight.

 

Cheers for now

Can we call it 'Baldrick'? ( from Blackadder III).

Er....if we're going down that route then I feel It will need changing to a turnip, and then it'll cause more problems with the loading gauges !

 

Like your thinking and choice of programme though !

 

Cheers
