That’s very helpful thank you.

so just for clarity, with the central axle, did you put axle bushes on it or do you just drop the axle in the hole and allow gravity and it’s own weight to hold it in place?

i was just wondering, if I could extend the drive shaft coming off of the motor one end then do you think I could drive all three axles??

That sounds great, how did you get the middle axle to float? Did you solder the 1/8” axle bushes to the main white metal block? Could you maybe elaborate on what it means by floating axle for me? Surely if you solder the axle bushes to the main block then it’s not floating. 

sorry this is all new to me

Hi Grasslands, I too have taken the plunge and bought a leader.

have started cleaning the castings up and giving the body the once over to ‘iron out’ a couple of moulded details a didn’t like the look of but I was wondering what you did with the chassis? On the diagram included it shows an improved drive idea and wondered how would you get round the centre float axle? I’m new to the white metal castings and was looking for a little help.

Hi Graham, first of all your model are amazing. Have been trying to follow bits of your articles from SEmG. I'm trying to produce a W class, Z class and a G16.

By any chance do you have any photos of the cabs as I'm struggling to model this part?

Kind regards

Paul
