Clockwork IVOR the Engine

Post by Crackingjob » Mon Jul 22, 2013 7:37 pm

Not much being built so I thought I would nudge you all.

From the top left hand corner of Wales to a tatty railway in Cornwall comes Ivor the Engine, clockwork edition.

A chance find whilst searching for to buy one of Roys card kits http://www.rail-roadmodels.co.uk/#!ivor ... gine/c18f4 (very very good, I am buying one so the clockwork version will have to be called Ida)

I came across this

http://www.smallfilms.co.uk/ivor/makeivor.htm

which allows me to a make card Ivor....but being Awnuts and into clockwork I had to modify it...well I had to!!

I had to touch up the area on the cab for the boiler with Paint to make it green, but the two sheets are adjustable to any size . I used Word to print them out on.

For some reason I cannot upload to this site so here is the link to AWNUTS Again for pictures.

Just the wheels to be trimmed to fit Peco SM32 track without striking the chairs and painted red, and the brake handle to be adjusted so as not to foul the truck behind but so it protrudes from the cab...a bit of fiddling...and I am on the rails!
