I've just started building the 1/24 scale Adler
model G gauge 45mm

the model is quite simple and suitable for beginners.
it would be a static model but I find it interesting to be able to motorize it, add a smoke generator and light up the 2 front lanterns.

almost certainly I will also build the 3 carriages of this train

I wish I could add a light in the covered coches and make the doors openable.

before I even got the kit I started building the motor gearbox.

I bought 2 pairs of brass worm gears from Bangood.
the rest is composed with 2 pinions of the same pitch for model cars, aluminum and brass profiles and a 12 volt modified class 130 motor (not too fast) with carbon brushes.

lathe, milling machine and patience.

then I built the smoke generator using a 10 Ohm 1/2 watt resistor wrapped with a piece of fiberglass.
inserted into a heat-insulated aluminum cylinder closed at the bottom.

in the meantime the kit has arrived and this is the box content.

the brass plates have a good detail, exceeding my expectations.

Holy moly Batman ! That is some impressive work !

Have heard Occre kits called many things but never ‘simple and suitable for beginners’ before. But then when one has the skills it all seams simple. occre kits are certainly ones that do benefit from following the instructions with great care unless you are very happy with scratch-building. So looking forwards to see this in action and I rather like the gearbox.

Thank you!!

first I built the four wheels of the tender in order to test the engine immediately.

essential to glue them straight

I leveled the edge on the lathe

I inserted the metal ring with the help of a gear to press the wood and a shim to leave a small thickness in front

a check on the lathe to verify that the wheels turn straight

I grafted the wheels onto the axle with a piece of shrink wrap

I built the tile with the tabs that take current from the metal rings and I welded the wheels to the axles by adding an external washer

this is the result of its first test running on my indoor track.

Superb work, still love the high line.

thank you!!
tender construction, nothing difficult.

coal are grey stones painted.

Thank you!!

I built the lanterns that will replace those of solid metal.
for a variety of reasons they were quite complex to build.
not easy to drill two 90° holes in the 4mm yellow ball which is a tailor's pinhead.

Much better though.

NOT simple or suitable for this individual however, that brass kit is totally different from the laser cut wood kit I failed with. Also, I found the incredibly basic motor assembly impossible to align and fit.
Parts of the model spent several years as a “restoration in progress” on the NW GScale exhibition layout Coal Valley Mining.

 

[3 minutes of fame]

Please post the finished photos you put on Occre's Facebook page. Your model is totally stunning and deserves to be shared!!

I built this model a few years ago. It was great fun and the result was very pleasing. However, I don't think they had all those brass plates in the kit when I built it. It was all wood, except for the fittings. They must have updated it. I put the motor in mine and converted it for RC. However, in spite of filling the boiler and tender with metal shot (which had to be done during the build), it really doesn't have a great deal of traction, which was a bit disappointing. However, the finished model looks impressive, with its carriages just sitting in a siding! Well worth the effort.
