STEAM HAULAGE WAGON
The second version was to take the body and standard 43h chassis and fit a suitable to scale cab. This I found from photographs that it needed to be 10h high as opposed to 11h in the instructions.
This now seemed in proportion, the cab you can see is built a little differently and now requires a standard boiler #162 capped with #137 with a flatter bonnet and bumper.
I thought it would be better to use a 6-speed powerdrive motor as it was a lower profile and you can then adjust the output better. I also added a standard chain differential from an earlier manual. As the body was a haulage type, it did not need the tipping equipment. A water tank was added at the rear underneath. |
