popeye Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 PLASSER TAMPER MACHINE. This is what i have been working on over the past year. it is starting to look like something at last. The motor & bogies are from Hollywood foundry in Australia. Bachmann buffers. It is based on the NIR No5 and dimension are not all accurate and some are judged by eye.

Kirley Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Now that's a challenge. I'm sure you are pleased with the Bull Ant, it's an excellent motor. How did you do the bogie frames? Looking forward to seeing No.5 finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 The bogie frame are made from plastic, a fiddly job. The motor and gears are a bit noisy but when they get run in a bit they might improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
