The replacement 3D printed muffs and gears proved to be out of gauge
for OO at 14.7 mm rather than 14.4 mm so I revered to the replacement Bachmann
set I ordered 3 sets of wheel spacers and 3 intermediate gears for a shade
under £10.
The
first loco wheel set was finished this morning and the chassis chipped as I type
its running in on the rolling road.
Oh
bu**er I have just fried the chip! The grey wire gets trapped when the body is
fitted and shorted. So a small mod milling a bit more metal away to allow the
wires to sit lower clearing where the casting fits inside the tank.
Superb conversion...
ReplyDeleteOh Bu**er don't come close....You were doing so well with it...Split chassis are a bit of a pain, I did a B1 and a Ivatt 2-6-2 then moved the rest on
ReplyDeleteYeah as i have 2 more to convert its not a show stopper just a little annoying
ReplyDeleteYes that is true Alan and these spit chassis are a learning curve and and a test of one's patience...
