Back to life....

Back to reality. I've given the virtual world a bit of break for the minute, instead turning back to the 37 bogie in the, possibly vain, hope that I'll have one assembled for Telford.

The picture above shows the last of the motors undergoing final adjustment (cf. bodging) and testing before assembly. I am pleased to confirm that they all actually work, having been tested on my ancient Hornby controller.

 

More soon! :)

Assuming you haven't cunningly filed all the teeth off the gears, great action shot! How are you going to paint all these bits - will they be sufficiently hidden by the sideframes? (If I've asked this before, apologies. Memory like a sieve...)

Cheers Will.

 

There's some questions I have yet to answer, and the painting question is one of them! I'm not entirely sure TBH. I think the best option with the gears will be black permanent marker, with everything else just sprayed black. From the earlier trials I did, I don't think that the gears will be too visible in any case.
