The Duke and it's Motion

Another bit of modelling required to fit the Caprotti gear to the loco drive Brit chassis. The rear motion bracket was really part of the whole weighshaft/reverser assembly so a new bracket was fabricated from plasticard as below

The cast gear is just pushed into place at the moment - final positioning will be done once the cylinders are assembled.

 

That front mounting bracket will need some mods too - I first thought that it lined up perfectly, but that might not be the case!

 

Two options

 

  1. Add some plasticard to the rear faces of the cast bracket
  2. Lose the cast bracket and cut a slot in the chassis to take the Golden Arrow resin front bracket

 

Again, I'll make that choice once the cylinders are in place ....
