I have built a 4 6 2 train chassie. For a Victoria Rail Streamlined Steamtrain.
The Edward Henty ,Spirit of Progess.Which I will build soon.Hopefully before
BrickFest PDX. It uses 6 BBB's train wheels(not deflanged). Using flex rods as
push rods & connecting rods. The connecting rods
also connects to the middle wheel , which articulates sideways .I have also put
rubber bands on the wheels for more traction.And weight bricks above the
chassie.It looks so real ! I hope to have some pictures up soon !!From the next
MUGS meeting . The 17th of January.
(Thanks, Teunis. M>ltc.)
