What a great start. Are the cypher parts printed in FUD?

Volker

[Bernhard]

Thanks Volker. All ballast plates are printed from Fine Detail Plastic in high resolution.

Thank you for showing us the soldering jig. As important as it is, I have never seen such a tool in any of my catalogs. -- Russ

[Bernhard]

Yes, a really useful tool, Russ. Here you can often get such plates from tool suppliers for jewelry making.

Here's one on Amazon:

Russ:

The fixtures come in different sizes and shapes.  Mine sits on a small turntable with a ceramic tile under it so that I can turn it while working.

Since most of what I am doing at the moment is in 1:1 scale on a 145 year old RR car not much need at the present.

Thank you all for the information. I really could have used something like that between 1995-2000 when I was fumbling around with 1:32n3. I have since concluded discretion is the better part of valor .... -- Russ

Hi Bernard another gem in 1/35 scale on the bench.
cheers Kim

Unfortunately, nothing has happened here for some time. The reason is that I have dismantled my large H0 layout and then renovated the basement. Thus I have created considerably more space for my workshop.

But now we are moving on.
Drive and brake are two simpler assemblies.

[Bernhard]

Nevertheless, a few parts need to be made for it.

[Bernhard]

As an example, I will only show the production of the two bearings for the actuating shaft of the brake.
First, the foot of the first bearing is milled.

[Bernhard]

Then the outer contour is milled, ...

[Bernhard]

... and finally the bearing is drilled and then cut from the bar.

[Bernhard]

And this is the result.

[Bernhard]

A little more difficult is manufacturing the parts for the roof.
