Update from this weekend:


I shortened the roof back as I didn't like the overhangs. The corners of the car are now complete too.






Now to start the wheels and bogies. This all went together much faster than I thought and here you can see the main componants. Axles are cocktail sticks, wheels are 2 layers of card for each segment. I will be adding a cog for the rack system to one axle.




I cut a simple jig, a slot to the width of the scale track, in order to get the spacing of the wheels exactly right. The wheels will also be carefully sanded to make them as round as possible.




Can you guess what these will be?
