How did you do the measuring and drawing Chris, just taken from photo's? That chassis really looks sturdy, great!
Kieffer
Hi Kieffer, I found on an Australian site a sketch that had some measured dimensions on it, using CAD I drew out the known dims ie, length, height, width, chassis depth etc. and scoured drawings that shows the panels square on and worked from that.
The accuracy is maybe not too good but it will give the impression of a 'Tin Turtle'.
It is a bit over kill on the material, but it's made from off cuts from other projects, the steelwork above the chassis is from old computer cases, cuts well and is ductile.
The weight will help traction when there's leaves on the track, Good ol' British Rail!!
