RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted November 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2018 As he calls the coupling rod a wheel link I doubt if he even knows what it is let alone miss it. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's an 'all in one' connecting/piston rod actually. These things have gear coupling between their driving wheels. I did fit coupling rods to one, but it's not really worth the trouble. I think she's more suitable for the American Southern Railway than the British one (Lima described her as an 'Alco 1930'), but the nearest I've ever found to a prototype had six driving wheels' Good enough for a 'toy' starter locomotive I suppose. There is also an even more improbable tender version. They do run and pull well however in their defence. The less said about the coaches the better. They are based on a Continental prototype, but far too short, I think they are left over from Lima's early days when a passing resemblance to a train was good enough.

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted November 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2018 P.S. The lunacy continues. One chap 'e...e' whoever he is has now bid £760, £360 and £87 for the three MTK kits, that's £1157. Yes MTK kits with all their deficiencies! In particular the cast 'faces'. Two people are locked in bidding. Watch this space! It's a mad, mad, mad world as somebody once said! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
