Re: Diesel Outline...
Left hand side looks like you could fit a Roundhouse type gas tank?
Your live diesel is huge, I love it!

Re: Diesel Outline...
I will be emailing you Dave for the pdf plans. Have you updated them also.
I love the clatter, it sounds brilliant. You would think it was a Diesel.
Would it be able to run 32mm.

Re: Diesel Outline...
Hi Rod, they aren't my plans but LBSC's from the 1930's which I used for the outline and the general layout - he used a gramophone worm and gear. The original was a 32mm gauge - standard gauge loco. Mine could be re-gauged to be 32mm
Best wishes,
Dave

Re: Diesel Outline...
Morning Dave, or is it afternoon.
Just sent an email to you mate. Thats great for 32mm both waysβ¦

Re: Diesel Outline...
I was just having a look under the loco to see if there was any space

Re: Diesel Outline...
Itβs so confusing Dave. On the forum it shows, Fri Nov 02, 2018 8:56 pm. I posted my reply to you at,Fri Nov 02, 2018 7:54 amβ¦Only 1 hour difference mateβ¦
You are 24 hours in front of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere arenβt youβ¦?
Anyway back to your loco. Are you thinking of R/C Dave. It looks a bit tight under there. But Iβam sure ge_rik could help with that. Or may be your quite capable yourself.

Re: Diesel Outline...
The front looks like your best bet but you might have to make your own tank unless an Accucraft one might fit?

Re: Diesel Outline...
Here's the original gas tank, a converted steam boiler. It could be put inside a tank wagon.

Re: Diesel Outline...
This afternoon I rearranged the gas valve to make it more compact. The dome on the top where the gas is drawn off

Re: Diesel Outline...
That looks better Dave, why do you need such a large gas tank though?

Re: Diesel Outline...
It was a pleasurable repurposing of the boiler Tom. And it works well with not getting too cold with the gas expansion due to its size

No R/C for this loco
So what are your plans for underneath, if any mate.
