(Tim Gould’s photos, by the way. But yes, the engine really is just plain

Tim Gould’s photos ? The owner of the linked BS gallery (talltim) is our
dear curator Tim David.

Good point. I should have realised that Mr Gould wouldn’t get that close to
actual bits of plastic. I was obviously confused by his name being all over
the front page at the moment.

The uncoupler worked very well, it is based on similar ‘withdraw the magnet
behind the buffers’ principles as Jon Reynolds’ shunter from about a year or so ago but of course with more space
to play with worked even better.
Also, without wishing to steal Jason’s thunder I will say that the crane looks
like it will be amazing once the necessary tweaking is finished. The basic
principle is similar to the automatic gearboxes using differentials developed by
various Technic type people in that it uses one motor and changes gearsets (and
so function) based on the amount of resistance on the ouput shaft. I’m sorry I
didn’t really get any pics of it, in fact my pics of the train related MOCs seem
to be sadly lacking all round.
