I also built a few adjustable stops which I can attach to the soldering plate.

Bernhard

This way the parts can be positioned better, as you can see here when soldering the base frame.

Bernhard

For the precise soldering of the wheel mountings I mill a solder jig out of an MDF board.

Bernhard

The frame and the four mountings are inserted into the jig and can now be soldered.

Bernhard

The preliminary result. The floor panel and the railing are still missing.

Disgustingly adequate design and fabrication. -- Russ

Thanks guys.
Here we go with the travel drive, which is built into the base frame.

Bernhard

The main parts manufactured are the two wheel carriers, which accommodate the wheels and the motor. The first is made of a solid brass block.

Looking sharp!
Happy with the Wabeco?
I am seriously considering buying one.

Yes, I'm very pleased. I can only recommend it. Good quality, no China rubbish.

Let's move on.

... the part must now be separated from the clamping attachment with a circular saw blade.
