I knew I had taken a few pictures, just needed to get them uploaded!
The
overal locomotive shot
Closeup of the front set of drivers
Closeup of the rear set of drivers
And just for fun, a picture of one of the
Union Pacific passenger cars I built for the Challenger to pull. I built five
of them, but I still need to add some ‘do-dads’ below the car...
You can see that I’m running a very simplified pushrod system. The Technic
liftarm slides behind a 1x2x2 thin-wall panel. So it doesn’t move straight
forward and back, but I wasn’t looking for accuracy. I was just looking for
movement, because it’s all about making kids happy. ;-)
And yes, it can handle the tight LEGO corners. I’ve spent many many hours
getting the articulation to work!
