Jung EL105 for the FBGR
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2015 2:12 pm
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.
