TRACK WORK & MILLING PATTERNS

Here's "Bender", the rail bending robot... (ever seen "Futurama? ;-)

Quite a bunch of bent rails - welding work ahead! Did 9 track pieces last weekend, 9 to go, then I can set up the "Moebius" track...

Milling the patterns for the leading truck wheels.

A day's work. Whew, I'm dusty! The counterweight is still missing on the driver wheel - I'll have to make two removable ones, in different sizes.


Incidentally, some time ago I ran the 0-6-0 with the whole "rake" of low-sided cars, at the Hyvinge museum track...

The "canyon" they have excavated to ease a rather steep grade, makes for some funny photo situations...
