BigLars Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Next are some American cars I am working on. A friend designed and 3d printed the frame and tank. I cobbled the rest together. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigLars Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have been doing a lot more work than I am posting. I am adding DCC keepalives to all my WW1 engines. Have built more howitzers and rolling stock and might have finally solved the chopper coupler challenges. I am experimenting with small magnets and have a 3d designer working on creating a coupler that hides the magnets in the face plates. Here are proof of concept pictures and videos. ] Video of working models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HwOhMLNhjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f5iT7ryRpw Wish me luck. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigLars Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Just got off the phone with the CAD designer. One version of a magnetic / or not chopper. This one fit in a standard Kadee #5 pocket. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLars Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Back to the Chopper coupler testing. My 3D printed couplers arrived today that I can inset a Magnet in. Video on my Yukon CDN RR I put 1lb of weight on a train and the Bachmann Baldwin engine could not pull the load or pull the rolling stock apart.

BigLars Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hello, I did a presentation on my WW1 layout last week and thought some of you would be interested. For clarity the layout is 1/43.5 British O scale on 16.5 mm track. I slipped up a little on the intro. Sorry about the poor sound quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbvwkY_MTbs&t=5s 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
