Mamod Minor Mobile!
I had a good bit of fun with this one, and threw it together in about a half an hour or so.

you're too kind! the funny part is, the burner fell over momentarily and started one of the yellow rods adjacent to the firebox, well, on fire!

yeah, I have a thing with knex. the only problem is, while simple and standardized, it isn't very precise. I very lucky to get the MM1 to fit (albeit loosely) with some well placed connectors. It's kind of hard to explain to someone who hasn't REALLY worked with knex.

That is fun, to get it to run the opposite way put a twist in the driveband.

that's great, With the big wheel at the front, I'm guessing a Stephenson's Rocket was the inspiration. | ||||||

Just loved it.
A project like that would go down a treat at the STWWW.
|
||||||
| 27ace27 |
actually, no. despite the fact that I have three different types of wheels, I couldn't find enough tires and wheels for a set! so I used gears, as they are also much easier to transfer power to.
I wish.  wouldn't it be great if I could come! BTW, where and when is STWWW?
|

| Sandman |
Of course you can come to the STWWW. It's right here. Check here and on the other threads for all the info. http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about20009.html |
