Stunning.

My friend has recently finished a 6" to the foot version in Black. I am hoping to do a video of it when we take it to winterise it soon.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MODEL ENGINEERING ! Fabulous ! Noel.

Magnificent!

Fabulous

Beautiful !

A fantastic achievement. The ultimate in model engineering really.

Will you be displaying this anywhere soon for us to see in action?

Hoping to next year but need to sort transport out. It weighs a bit as you can imagine

Seeing that going up the road makes me wish I had started one of them and not a loco. Well done it's a beautiful job.

Very nice

Most impressive, as good as it gets in my book! The video seems to show it's quick too - what sort of speed does it do on the road?

Congratulations,

Dave

Thanks for your comment. I geared it up slightly to try and keep crank speed down on the road so it does go well. I tried to work out the speed by timing the rotation of the rear wheel and knowing their diameter worked out that it was about 9.5mph. That was regulator about 1/2 open. It didn’t feel fast when on it but cranks going round at a reasonable rate so wouldn’t want to go much more on a run. Plus it’s not got the best braking technology.

Lovely; must make you grin a lot..
