Pony truck temporarily in place
Check fit of the top overlay (12-13) and (14) hornguide straps and fix in place.
In the model of our choice we elected to fit 1/8” axles and sprung bearings and it now requires the
Bachmann final drive gear to be reamed out to 1/8” this was done quite easily and no problems were
encountered keeping the reamer straight and square. At one stage the model was fitted with the
Bachmann motor and gearbox and performed well. However it was decided to take the model a stage
further and see if a commercial motor and gearbox configuration could be used. Shown in the
photographs is a High Level HighFlier gearbox and motor. It requires some metal to be removed from
the chassis block this was done just to give some more movement in the gearbox.
Since we had used the etched springs, pickups were made from spring wire and pcb sleeper strip (not
supplied)
