Thanks. This was a big job and i would not do one again.
The cab frame is 2mm plastic rod but i think 1.5mm would have been better.
It made glazing more difficult.
The louvres were made with a laser cutter, which turned out ok.
Thanks, there is a lot of work involved on small details glazing was tricky. It was a slow job.
Here is a small drawing, it's the only one i have but it might help.
Great video Nelson, i love the sound of the engine.
It's like an old age pensioner.
It's nice to see a video with a steady camera and no zooming in & out.
Many thanks for all your comments.
This was all scratchbuilt apart from some small bits motor, wheels, buffers etc.
It runs ok but a little loud but might improve if it ever gets run in.
That looks better, the weathering on the real thing was random with varied marks.
Look very closely at pictures of the real thing, but they are great, it's up to you how far you want to go.
The depot looks amazing, what is it made from?
Have a look at High level gears they do a gearbox to one axle and it would not
take up too much room. Most of it would be under the floor level so just the small
motor on top which could be covered with a small box.
