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

Volker
I'll make it. If I have to fly the five feet like a birdie.
I'll fly it. I'll make it.

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.

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

Bernhard

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.
