Another odd fan powered vehicle, this time on a 5 inch gauge garden railway!

A fine turn of speed , bit dodgy for any wildlife though.

I guess the shikasen body is rather appropriate then! would certainly be an entertaining thing to watch!

That is brilliant, runs at a sort of speed that should keep most at the local model engineering society happy...

Many years ago, at school, we had a prop driven RC car, powered by a 1.5cc aircraft diesel engine. Flicking it over to start it one evening , it suddenly roared into life and the prop was promptly stopped by one of my fingers.....!Gremlin:93927 wrote:wouldn't want to get my hand near the rear of that beast
I did keep the finger tip fortunately but still have scar. However the positive thing was that having a large 'dolly' on my right hand got me a 'be kind' note attached to my O level English resit a couple of days later and managed to pass at the third attempt!!
