HOn30 Battery Tram

[Ben v]

Thanks for the advise earlier and I thought I would post a few images the current work in progress.

I thought I would have a go at a small mining operation that utilised a battery tram and some "V" tippers.

 

I could find anything suitable RTR so thought I would have an attempt at my own brass etching.

Its Designed to fit over a Tsugawa Yokou 14046 Super Mini Size Motorized Chassis TU-9A

Its quite plain to start with if all goes well I will add more to it and make a couple more.

Have made a etch layout and since the below image made it solid and tried the iron on transfer to brass sheet.

I am just waiting on my Iron(III) chloride to arrive which should be hear next week.

Well the first couple of attempts at etching were a bit of a disaster, the iron transfer method wasn't going well for me so I have ordered some photo sensitive film to have another go but I was able to prove the concept with the the terrible etchings I did get.  See first attempt below. 

Once the Etch film arrives I will have another attempt.

I didn't bother to clean it up yet as I want happy with etchings.  Mech is due to arrive in a week or two.
