Railcar B

Enjoy

I wonder who gets the greater personal satisfaction:- The owner admiring the thing or the person who designed and made it?.

 

A minor suggestion, - maybe a bit late now. I see the exposed brass drive worm. I suggest a cover over it. I have had oil/grease being flung off from the worm by centrifugal force making a mess of the insides of windows.

 

I have a question:- What are the actual radii of the 'first radius', 'second radius', 'third radius' etc.?. I am not familiar with those designations.

My own version of SL&NCR 'B' can go round curves of slightly less than 24" radius, the limitation being the skirts around the rear bogie.

Railcar B will be running on a straight shuttle track leaving a platform and entering a tunnel.I will post a video of it running around the layout before it takes up its final home on the layout and as for the greatest satisfaction I'd have to give that to 33 Lima.

Here they are in there new homehttps://youtu.be/OTmUGxoPon8

I'm the very lucky soon to be owner of this Railcar B.I remember talking to the late Michael Hamilton in 1999 about his time on the railway.Little did I know I would be getting this model as I'm sure 33 Lima might have second taughts about parting with it.Im sure every one that has watched the build would agree it was lovely to see it come to life just fantastic.Thank you again Ivor
