Hi Don.
I thought for a moment that as you were posting in the workbench thread you were posting something about your modelling!
Please show me what you are upto? I would love to see.

Hi Justin.
Guitar strings. The ones with the wire wound round them. No doubt someone will elaborate as to which particular size. Unwind the coiled bit for the solid pipe and keep the coiled bit for the flexible bit.

HI.
You are a modelling genius! By far the best miniature engineering I have seen on this forum. That is amazing, even if you sadly didn't get it to work. I'm intrigued about how you formed that plate, especially how you got it to that shape with just pliers, a vice, and some steel rod.
I'm loving the gearcutting, that is something that has always alluded me.

Hi Justin.
The way I dealt with what I needed was to use an original farish chassis (which had the correct wheelbase) then reverse engineer the bogies to suit what I needed. The middle bit of the bogie has been designed to match the original farish design and on the test print it clipped into the farish bit no problems. The design used the same single gear which engages with the farish worm. I have also maintained the same MOD 0.3 gears throughout the assembly.

That has to be some of the best quality 3D prints I think I have ever seen Tom!
You will have to tell me your secrets at some point. I am seriously impressed.

Thank you Paul.
All the machining was done on my Proxxon MF70 milling machine and my Unimat 4 lathe. Some bits were pushing the capacity of the machines but its all possible.
