Re: Copy of an IP engineering tram
When you press reply and it takes you to the page where you type your message, where I am now, if you look further down there is an attachments tab, press that and then select the pictures you want to upload, be careful as there is a size limit, just try it and see how it goes.
If stuck I believe there is a post saying how to do it, I will have a look.

Re: Copy of an IP engineering tram
Thanks reply steves.
Hopefully this will work and will be a picture of all the bits that I am starting with. The bell will be replaced with a machined brass copy.
Axles and wheels etc, hopefully later.

Yes, picture is fine.
Makes a good start, do keep us updated as it progresses.

Re: Copy of an IP engineering tram
Yup, picture works, glad you got it sussed
Could I be cheeky and ask for pictures of the work you have done for wheels, con rods etc? I love seeing parts coming to life.

Re: Copy of an IP engineering tram
Happy to oblige, cheeky chappie, -state of play as of 3pm today. 4mm dia axles as per your suggestion.
As all out of sight, the con rods will be 6mm by 14swg flat brass strip fitted in between the two brass spacers on the pins.
Wheel centres will be 70mm so time to work out the chassis assembly

Re: Copy of an IP engineering tram
My thoughts too. Really interested to see how it develops.

Hi Dick,
Looks like a decent bit of engineering re the wheels and crank pins. Looking forward to seeing how this shapes up.
Cheers,
Tom
