During my research trip last fall, I happened to find the original drawings of the rack-and-pinion gears for the trolly's drive system in Bowling Green. I had the rack-and-pinion gears 3D-printed in nylon.

And finally, I soldered the railings to both girders.

This more or less completes the production of the individual parts for this assembly. The next steps are to prime and paint all the parts. That's a pretty time-consuming process with this small airbrush. And it's actually a shame that this means the beautiful brass finish will disappear.

Count me as impressed on all fronts, size, execution, planning, construction.
You may ask yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"
