Adams T1 Part 4

Hi all.

A bit more on the T1.

Its been a good productive day. The main body structure has progressd well.

For an old kit it is very well detailed. The window surround trim proved challenging and the sliver of brass strip that goes around the top of the coal bunker.

Lamp irons as well.

I am getting used to burning ones fingers building these things.

I have swamped the motor/gearbox for a higher ratio, now running with 120-1. I couldn't get it to crawl very well on an 80-1 probably something to do with its 22mm wheels. A slightly shorter motor also means we can fit a flywheel.

You can see from this photo the difference in size from a T1 to an 02.

There is quite a difference. Yes, it been a good kit to build.

Next job is handrails then we can solder the boiler in place, i will know where to drill the holes then, in the cab front. Not forgetting the handrail on the cab rear.
