PACK & STACK

Post by Crackingjob » Mon Apr 04, 2011 7:58 pm

The idea is for a packable train able to be thrown into a bag...so good it won the 2011 Diplock trophy!!! at the 16mm AGM

My original is with rubber band power made to test that concept and Pack/Stack concept, though a small electric motor would be best and I will do that in due course

You will need (costing a huge 69p each) two oval card boxes with lids from an art shop
The lid is to hold the chassis made up of Binne wheels and cheap imported imitation meccano
The tub/box is your wagon/engine
They slip togther easily but when un packed the lock togther with magnetic strip.fridge magnets.
The rest ie painting , superstructure...is up to you
Looking like an Eggliner looks to be fun

I will be lookig to make trucks and flat trucks with square ones in the future...watch this space

I'll let the photos do the talking
