Giles' misc. Work bench.

I have no idea if I talked this one up or not (ignoring another post only 11 days ago) -

Website - Paris, wine and railway

Just stumbled across a few splendid photos of wine delivery by rail in the Bercy district of Paris. Micro layout anyone?

Will the Packing and Despatch division of ByGiles be staffing up to cope with demand for 7mm variants?

It would be great if you could Simon.... I've worked this up from a pile of photos, with ne'er a drawing in sisightit will probably mean i have to start again..... there is one (x4) curve or cut i cant do on Mechanical, and have to hand file afterwards, and that is to the underside of the horns.
This is printed in 7mm

No cigar I’m afraid. It would have been in “Entrevoie”, but I don’t seem to have a copy unfortunately.

I have found these which may help

i think Fraser @Overseer had posted something about this little oddity some time back. He might have some more info.

Aw... never mind! Thanks - I have all those! I import photos into autocad and trace over them to get the dimensions, cross-referencing with each other and any other info I can get - so it won't be so far out. Its surprising - even having a figure in there can provide a surprising amount of confirmation info....

Handrails added. The steps are folded up from a bit of brass sheet and epoxied on

The brake and smaller handbrake wheels are drawn and ready for printing. I haven't done the brake gear yet. The controls will be fabricated from bits of rod and strip, as printing so thin will be susceptable to bowing (and of course delicate)

My supermarket trolley last week had a wheel just like that

£4 a set is pretty good value, I'd say.

I've used Slater's 2ft drivers and melted the centres out, replacing them with my own printed centres. I am using 2mm axles, enabling the use of mod 0.3 brass bevel gears, to be driven by a K20 gearmotor which just fits...

Chassis is a pan that fits to the underside. 400mAh Battery will go over the top, full plan section. Receiver in the engine bay.
