So, are we going to see this thing in York? And is it ready to run yet?

I, for one, can’t wait to see this “Rube Goldberg” contraption actually running around a layout…pulling that combination car behind it…:wink:

(Wasn’t this much more fun and interesting to build then some box with a motor in it? You probably woke up some long dead brain cells too.)

And it looks a damn sight purtier too…:wink:

Chicken Scratch.

Ralph …it won’t be running but it will be there…and yes Jon…I’d say about 75% (or more) of the build was from scratch…:wink:

Your PU ran to York & back :D The CVRR car looks great lettered. Funny how I noticed it unlettered in Ken's first picture, but had a brain phart and didn't notice it was lettered here :P Ralph

I had the same brain phart since I had forgotten about this picture when I posted the other one.

You meant pretty UGLY and weird right!!! I did put some time in on it today and have all the linkage working with no binding at all.......my issue now resides with the gearbox and motor. The bachmann motor does not like slow rpms so I my need to locate a better motor for it.
