Llewellyn Loco Works #1

[Hydrostatic Dazza]

if you look at the pic of the drawing draft layout I have the teeth number written on the coloured gears.

Ah yes, thanks. So that is 50:16 x 40:16 x 40:30 so just over 10:1.

Plod did his best with what gears he could purchase and the vertical space constraints in the Garratt bogie.
It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

Garratt Slomo mechanism progress.

[Hydrostatic Dazza]

It spins. Actually both of them spin. One gear to pinion join combo has a wee detectable wobble but of no consequence Nothing is yet fixed or pinned. Cover plates are next. Click the pic and it will take you to an eight second video.

Thursday was cleaning the workshops including the Red Room.





You gotta love an Epoxy floor. Sweep, vacuum, mop and dry in 15 mins.



The machines get some love.





Plod can then ponder the Mk1Garratt Slomo assembly with a clean floor and clear mind.

Blimey, Dazza. That looks cleaner than our house!

That's not a workshop, it's an operating theatre!
