I now have a running chassis. I've put my own loco to one side for the time being to get my friends one finished.
Pick-ups are 1mm x .15mm phospher bronze strip soldered to copper clad sleeper material;
It took me ages to decide on the best way to arrange them, and then I tried different widths and thicknesses of phospher bronze before I was happy.
The pick-up wires aren't soldered to the motor yet as this one may end up being fitted with a DCC chip.
Here it is bolted together being tested;
It crawls along quite nicely, but now I need to cram as much weight in as possible before finishing detailing the body.
Paul.
