Jung EL105 for the FBGR
Just a few of pics to show this little loco recently finished that turned out quite nice.
I didn’t start out making a Jung, I started out making a Ruston 12hp, and had made the chassis when I found I couldn’t hide the motor under the gearbox as well as get four AA batteries in.
So, rather than discarding the chassis that I had made, I looked round for a suitable loco with similar wheelbase; so I ended up making this Jung with just minor alterations to the chassis being required.
First some naked (unpainted) shots, just to illustrate that it is mostly plastic:
A shot of the chassis, (also plastic) to show how I managed to fit four AA batteries in as well as the Deltang receiver and speed controller:
Some painted and weathered shots at home:
Running on the FBGR on New Years Day (the log wagon is also newly built – based on a Spiegelau Feldbahn example):
As I have got some frame and body and gearbox bits left over from the initial attempt to make the small Ruston, this will probably be the next loco.

The world's going to end very soon --- so I'd better try to get something finished by then

I have just found a video on youtube of this class of loco – and I got something very wrong.(see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isKSI5Xl26w)
I had assumed that the forward/reverse lever would be attached to the back of the gearbox, but this video shows the changing from forward to reverse being carried out by pushing in/pulling out the gear change wheel (the wheel that looks a bit like a steering wheel) .
So I am going to have to make a little alteration in removing the lever I put in and trying to make good the paintwork.
