Hi all
This machine is complety scatch, except the Mabuchi motor, accommodated in the fire-box ,the wheels bachman and the pinions.
The boiler is a plastic tube, the rest is in plasticard. The frame and the cabin are wooden.
There are two speeds but i had enough place for the neutral, the damage.
I used of the bomb "anthracite grey" automobile for the boiler, the frame and trucks, the cabin is painted in the brush with various
master keys of paint Humbrol
She is not ended, remains to darken the brass, retouch of paint, decals and to install a radio control

Fantastic bit of modelling really love the weathered paint finish

Very nice indeed! Like the trucks and transmission - what is the minimum radius of track that it will negotiate?

As I have just ended one 040 vertical to boiler any brass 7 / 8n2 (if it interests you, tell me in which category to post her) I am going to begin to equip my climax of a remote control according to the method of Gregh of which I browse its site for a long time. While waiting for I post you some photos of the beautiful partially undressed.
I began his construction 3 years ago and finished last March:
Past approximately 6 months
I wasted a lot of time to accommodate the various floors of gears and to realize universal joints
