Thanks. These are based on the original design that I had Mark print for me, but I thickened them a lot. Having them be scale size just didnt work out. These should be much sturdier.

Yeah, I think scale is great for indoors, but outside you need something that will LAST - and stand up to the elements and wildlife.

Dredging this thread back up. Starting work on the coal conveyors. The prototype has three, coming out of the wall over the tracks.

The conveyors were covered, and were raised and lowered by an operator in the cabin above the tracks. My conveyors wont be a true to prototype, but I will have three (since Ill have three tracks under) and probably the whole operators cabin and hoist framework.

FIrst off, the conveyors themselves. Some thin-wall aluminum I beam from the scrap box, piece of a timing belt, and a some 3d printed parts, will give a reasonable look.

Bob, that looks excellent. I love how you’re using “mixed media” to accomplish the build!

Ahhh, So you done went with them timing belt idea! I got one here that I just yanked off a Honda Pilot V6 this week. It’s a hair over 3/4" wide but if you cut it it’s about 5’ long. It’s yours if you want it otherwise file 13.
