Feanor

Post by andysleigh » Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:03 pm

I have kind of finished my IP feanor.

Still have to do the wireing properly, and i have made a card bonet, becuase the plasti card one that your ment to make from parts went totally wrong, the measurments in the instructions are wrong.
But i think it looks ok at the moment,
being one axle drive, its not very powerful, but can still pull an open wagon and tippers.
