I've just looked again, and zoomed in, to realise it's not a coaster style push bike Which certainly explains the unusual crank/rear cog configuration!LNR:119522 wrote:I'm not into bikes Phil, but it always struck me that it wasn't a gear ratio set up for speed, probably more for a very low powered 1907? motor.

Model is a 1907 Harley Davidson I think. lost the box, and it's not written on it, but I think that's right. The only one I could find that fitted my 1927 time frame.
I actually machined new pulleys that were round as opposed to what was supplied, and a proper belt so it runs true. Don't know why!

Well, Nayook has been ringing to the sound of a squaring axe and an adze, as a local fencing contractor set about constructing the new stockyards.
Rain stopped play, but there was time to check that all was correct and to railway clearance standards.
The contractor has promised to return as soon as possible and complete the job, a brown paper bag was seen to be passed rather slyly to him by a Shire Rep. no doubt something about specifications (wink, wink.)

The first half dozen head of cattle were loaded today.
The Stock Agent checked numbers and condition, (mind you so did Paddy sitting on the post, he had to use both hands to work out how much money he would make).
A few taps with a stick, and the cattle took to the race and ramp like they were born to it.

Fantastic Grant, absolutely fantastic. I can't remember the last time I saw such realism.
Put me down for the first load of manure swept from the pens, my allotment garden could do with it this winter!

Thanks Peter, Tom the loco is a home build on a Katie chassis. I took inspiration from the Baldwin petrol mechanicals (Moelwyn) and Fowlers.
I particularly wanted an open engine area if possible, so the battery size determined the sloping box. Unfortunately It's so restrictive I've given up on NiMH and it has been running with a Lipo. More voltage and lasts as long as a tank of fuel probably.

Great job
Great model - you've done such a good job - I thought it was Moelwyn when i first saw it - so thumbs up there!LNR:120726 wrote:Thanks Peter, Tom the loco is a home build on a Katie chassis. I took inspiration from the Baldwin petrol mechanicals (Moelwyn) and Fowlers.
