Appropriate bevel gears are obtainable from Technobots at about 45p each. I find that generally the N20s perform very well under radio control, reprogrammed with an output of 60Hz - information not much use for 2-rail running!

Nice job!

It would be perfectly possible to slightly adapt my Walking Man machine for a horse to give diagonally opposed motion which would approximate the horse's walk.

I hopefully have a book coming out shortly where I mention this. The down-side is that it requires a slot in the ground surface (between 3 and 4mm) which is difficult to effectively disguise. I looked at magnets to transmit the action, but discarded them for my purposes, as they would have needed to be too large,  would require a smooth surface, and have a tendancy to polish it. The actual walking man requires a wire support anyway. A horse also might as there would be an instability at mid-stride.

I absolutely LOVE this layout....... it is pure artistry for me. Thank you.

Lovely! An Austin 7 is pushing it, size wise - it will be a charmer...!

I know the feeling!!! I'm battling with a similar insurmountable problem at the moment as well!

I'll see you there..? I'm joining Martin on The Yard for the day.....

Can you not fit a 600:1 N20 unit if you want normal roadspeeds or a 1000:1 For yard work?

It looks like your final drive is around 15:1 or so.....

Absolutely wonderful  - a very lovely project, looking great - I can't wait to see it in the flesh, so to speak....

Birmingham Science museum had one of these on display in the '70s, and I was very much taken with it then.

...want to see  it run..... 

well, that trackwork looks superb....

Very nice - and brave, doing one this size.... I've done a much larger one, but this is quite useful!

Nice!

I'm lost in admiration for your 3D drawing skills.....

I've recently bought my wife a Flashforge Finder, which I hope to use occasionally - but although I earn my living designing in Autocad - I have yet to learn any 3D.

Thank you so much - very Helpful!

I've always loved Fen End Pit...

Remarkable!

Is this printed in

PLA or ABS?

Lovely stuff - I've deeply admired your stuff for a long time......

This is absolutely beautiful - I've only just discovered it and I'm so sorry I've missed it until now - absolutely of the first order!
