latest revision of a hon30 NA loco.

something else in the works,

a hon30 version of below. just a rough drawing to see the suitability of off the shelf motors and gearboxes.

hi all, a few more recent shots of the Na. the last photo shows the motor in the background.

the chassis is free rolling at this point. This design is far neater than the earlier one, assembly is simpler too.

cab

hi all, a few more recent pics. the white parts are cnc machined styrene. the 3rd pic i hadn't trimed the windows.

hi all. just a few more pics. the workshop is a bit full at the moment so have been working on the computer. the na i have changed, it now has a split chassie and solid drivers. both the na and the harman have there parts cut on a cnc mill. parts are either brass or plastic. in hindsight it is far more productive i think to design the locomotive completely. But i guess i can do a better job of it now as from the earlier i have a good idea of what can be machined and what cannot be.

hi all. well above is a machined cylinder set for the na. i made them in two halves which i will solder together. I used a 1mm cutter on the cnc. for scale the outside of the cylinders are 1/8" diametre.

further drawings

hi all, i have started to work on the boiler design. Shown is the overall dimensions. I will add the finer details as i go along.
