I am now testing, and should be available for viewing at the Convention Tour of the CCRy Thursday 05AUG10, the Prototype gearbox for the K.
You-know-who is building it, but don’t flood him with calls, as we are just in the “Prototype Testing” phase now.
The Design Consideration-27 gearbox is undergoing evaluation and ratio certification, but hauls 12 cars right up the 4% curving, smooth start (unlike last time we ran it where you feed throttle, feed throttle, feed throttle and as it takes of, remove throttle, remove throttle…).
I stayed on top of this (in the background as far as public), as this is the last bit on this engine.
I may have to remove it from permanent basement floor storage.
On another note, last conversion for Convention use went out the door at lunchtime, the main trimming and cleaning of the CCRy is done, some minor stuff to do as the day approaches.
If you come by, identify yourself as an LSC-er!
Off for now, time for a nap.
