 Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 4:54 pm Post subject: My first Meccano project |
 |
|
With the Meccano I have recently purchased, and still purchasing!, I plan to make this:
I am probably going to invest in a larger stationary engine, if the MM1 can't take the strain, if it can't, I'll use the TE1A until I find a suitable replacement.

Yes good idea, then the Wilesco tractor can take the load from the carts in a trailer straight to SM's house.

That's what I was trying to say. The locomobile will probably get there on one tank of water.

Aye.
I would like to have a Wilesco mobile one day to see what they're like.
Good luck with the project MTA lets see if it gets done now.

Come on guys!
Use a mamod stationary, thats what they are for!!!!!
I don't think a TE1a or a locomobile will look very nice sat under that.
Mamod and meccano are a match made in heaven!

I'm going to make the underside hollow, and fit a pipe from the chimney upto the side of the winding house. I will use the Locomobile, as James said, speed control and power! Where'd the idea of guinness and SM come from????????

oh, I can see where you have become confused, I am cosmetically restoring a loco that worked in the Guinness Brewery, and SM volunteered to help! MM: I am using the Locomobile as it is the most powerful loco I have, plus it has speed control and the pressure is more controllable, plus it is what is known as a portable, basically a stationary on wheels!

An SE3 would sit under there and do the job a lot easier! probably for longer aswell
Try the minor one first though MTA! you've got nothing to lose!
