Sweet little engine

I'm still busy with a long time project. I wanted a 25-ton switcher for the Diamond Valley scrap yard.
Now, this project goes to an end. It's still far from finished. I need more decals, light, another decoder and weathering. But I can test run it!

Love it... did you scratchbuild it?? If so, what kits did you use?? Like the guy on the bike take it all in... subtle detail.

Good Job Wolfgang!!

Cheers

 

Scratch build means, there's no kit!
Only different sheets of brass, wire, paper and a few castings, like Nut-Bolt-Washers, bell.

WOW!!! INCREDIBLE!!!

 

oops... should have known that, kitbashing is mixing of kits plus some... my bad.

Cheers

 

Very cool! What kind of mechanism?

 

Great stuff, Wolfgang!!!!

Very nice Wolfgang. I'm a subscriber to your videos. I really like 3rd Street.

 

That is one smooth engine for its size. Nice job!

 

Thanks for the link, hadn't heard of them before.

 

Here's a construction picture:



You see, brass, brass, brass. That gives weight. And my son Benjamin said, there's still some space to fill with lead! I will do it. This gives better current pick up. And traction power. But this is not a problem, three or four cars are enough for this little switcher.
