There is no resistance. nope, I bought the 33, which was an original green one, with split gears, and a 47, which also had split gears, and they were to look pretty on a shelf. Well the 33 got a respray, and the 47 now lives in Loughborough, and must be the highest mileage Heljan 47 in the world 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joner Posted February 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2021 Of course it counts. I think your whole layout should be in print though. Surely worthy of it. Probably after you've built the shed though so get on with it Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Apart from the bent underframe, this was the reason for the delay on the YOB. Trying to work this out. Maybe, just maybe, this could work! just need to find out the thread size on the gearbox so I can mount the motor to something 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why people like me wait for people like you to do it first! Just a question about the rectangular hole in the floor for the motor. Should it not be slightly more curved to account for the bogie swing. I appreciate this is limited for space because of the box above the frame. Look forward to the next installment.

Paul no room for a wider hole. That’s as big as it goes currently, but until I can get the bogies to fit right and the motor mounted, I can’t tell any more, and the kit is about 5 seconds from going in the bin, as there are additional issues not realised when the video was made 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Due to a very generous offer from a fellow modeller.....the current YOB build is paused until the post arrives from the UK....watch this space 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
