Why such an excitement? On the sprocket of my mountain bike I am able to create such effects blindfolded ... Hmmm, I am talking about a real bike. 

Ok, you feel it: For a ordinary modeler it's hard to bear such images that we see here!!!

Hi Chuck, looked at the last three photographs did a double take.... had to start at the beginning. Very nice! Haven't been around much 1:1 life has a way of taking up time.

Incredible!!!

Thanks!


I finished the first of the drive chains. The chain is the metal Kyosho RC motorcycle chain that is a perfect size for this machine. I used an artist's stump and some polishing powder on the rollers before it was installed.

Chuck, that is unbelievably believable and convincing.

[TRAINS1941]

I'll come up with a word that's believable!!

You make the real ones look fake.

I really love the greasy, grimy look you've achieved.

It looks perfect.
Period.

Looks great, Chuck!!

And, on April first Chuck will post a picture to the list showing us that this isn't a model but a cleaver rebuild of the real thing.

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks very much!

A bit more progress; the other drive chain installed plus the trip drum friction and brake pedal.

I would like to belatedly thank Håvard (Hauk) for his finding of the Kyosho roller chain, oh maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It was the main reason I started this project, and it works perfectly! Glad I finally got around to using it.






An operators lever will eventually fill that hole.
