| cfellows:
I've begun building a steam powered vehicle that will be modelled somewhat after this one: The overall width to the center of the tread will be around 10". Length of the vehicle probably around 18", maybe more. I figured a good start would be a complete RC Front Axle assembly so I found this on Ebay (darn, these parts are not cheap!). This will add a bit of realism and will simplify the drive mechanism which leaves plenty of other hard parts to design and make! Hope I have enough years left to complete this thing! Chuck |

Chuck OK, I've got the popcorn popping and I'm all ready to start watching. Looks like it will be an exciting build. :D :D Cheers :beer: Don |
| saw:
This will be very fun to folow :D |
| Rob.Wilson:
certainly different Chuck :bugeye: At the rate you build engines i am sure you will have this project licked in no time :med: Rob |

Well, Chuck, that looks like a very interesting project you've got started, in fact, it almost looks like the 'vehicle' you're modelling had a purpose at one time maybe. A small hint, don't keep track of the costs, you'll only be aghast at the end, its easier to just pretend everything comes out of the scrap box, less stress. It looks like you've got the basis for the power plant already as well, this should be an unusual project, and they are always the best. :bugeye: Does anyone know how to do steam remote control? :lol: Lots of tiny tubes maybe, long ones? :nrocks: This should be fun, got a front row seat, :beer: Cheers, mad jack |
