answer EU07 electric loco 1:25

Answer's EU07 1:25 scale electric loco.

this loco to based on an English loco and I liked the look of it and was on offer with laser sets.
on the downside, there are no written instructions and no drawings for the bogie cross hangers, and the wire templates. some has posted a link to the drawings on a build over on kornradus have just tried it but its not working. i used this site for useful info on the loco TRANSPORT SZYNOWY - Niezależna strona informacyjna.
i am adding extras to the model while there is some detail to the cabs some things are mist out like heaters and sandboxes and some electric boxes behind the driver's seat. also, it does not look right to me to have visible cabs and printed side windows and vents so will open these up a make up some internal detail where visible. i will also add some more detail to the bogies and add the hand brake linkages. but that enuff blurb when you really want to see pics.

i have finished this now but I started it as a break from the Sherman build and it did sit around for a year before restarting and the post will follow the photo dates. I am still resizing the photos on 120 at the moment.

i started with the wheels and made the clutch mechanism more realistic.



punching holes in the wheel backs



adding detail to the arms.



and adding oval discs to the backs to cover the punched holes.



clutch arms in place



that it for the wheels for now. the next post will move onto the start of the loco body.
