Narrow Gauge CliShay getting down to small stuff...

Post by kc6uvm »

Making progress. I ordered a new crimper for #4 and bigger cable attachments
(from http://www.powerwerx.com). I expect to start wiring the motor controller soon after the crimper arrives.

So, while I wait, I attached the newly welded electronics cage to the aft end of the frame over the motor controller and drilled out a coupler to fit the aft coupler pocket.

This is just another view of the back end of the engine:

All the electronics and the angle iron will eventually be covered up with a sheet metal tank...

Model railroading is fun but the work expands proportionately to the track gauge.

Any progress on your Clishay? Is it under steam yet?

Long story, but the CliShay is not in my possession right now.

To be continued at a later date.
