Fowler Resiliant

ptlrcecil · Post by **ptlrcecil** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:48 pm

Well Ive had this sitting in my workshop for several years now and since my xbox died I got bored and decided to finish it.

Its a Fowler Resiliant class Diesil built from plans in an ancient back issue of SMT. Its built on a faller 12 volt chassis and contary to popular belief it has been on a test run (when it was still just a chassis 4 years ago).

I will be taking progress photos as work progress but will probably not upload them to the forum till im downloading my camera.

Will look good when its finished in black. Mind you by then Bluebottle will be fitted with arc lights so no chance of hiding

Well the cosmetic work is finished (until its due for super detailing and weathering) unfortuantly Im having problems with the transmission to the rear axle so this is the only photo I got before it broke down. Thats about it for my weekly update.
Keep steaming.

Well Ive been working on it last night and will probably be working on it today. I think Ive found where the problem lies but its going to be a B###h to sort it. Hopefully I should have it running by tonight.

Once you finish something, something exactly the same comes up for sale elsewhere:
