I had expected total weight of the loco would
be less than 30kg, but the result is 35kg.
Pony truck axle weight cannot be adjusted,
so additional 5kg is onto driving and coupling
wheels. Fortunately it increases pulling
power.
I prepared 'rerailer' which guides the loco
from the container to tracks. It is a pair
of steel bar bolted on a wood plate. The
plate also serves as a roof of the container.
I added support bars between the tracks in
the container, so as to prevent derailment.
These were made from aluminum angle bars
bended 45 degree.
Although the loco was completed, I have no
plan to make a test run yet. On October I
will change my residence, so I have to start
packing all of items in my workshop right
now.
Six years have passed since I started this
serial report. I am deeply grateful to all
of you for your kind support and cooperation.
I take a short break here until a new project
will start. Thank you very much!
