Here we are then. Proof positive that 1:1,000 scale scratchbuilt model railroads are a viable proposition. The locomotive, mounted on a IDL Nano trains platform, cut to fit, does work. The loco has a bit of a "tankslapper" (yawing motion) on the back straight. I think because the magnets aren't aligned properly. But other than that this is a phenomenally promising test run. If I can do this then you can.
I hope you are as knocked out by this as I am.
p.s. after I posted this I removed and re-aligned the magnet platforms and the "tankslapper" was improved. Not cured, but much improved
You're killing me. I just looked at my HO ditchlight kit and that's too little.
ReplyDeleteThat "tankslapping" happens over the power cord. There's got to be a bit of magnetic interaction. I'd say it's either time for shielding or invoking the inverse squared law.
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
