 9. Train








































This train can be found in Constructor Quarterly No. 19, March 1993. Mr. John Woollat was credited as the builder. It wasn´t easy to build using the one photograph there provided. I changed it a little, making it somewhat more difficult to build, but more attractive in appearance.
A few building tips:
- In two places, the bottoms of the tender and the locomotive, there is not enough space for a bolt. Instead a grub screw is used as a very short screwed rod and the parts are nut-locked.
- The train is not directly screwed to the rails. The bottom of the train and the rails are ´clamped´ between the wheels.
- The large wheels are not fastened to anything. The set of wheels consist of a long bolt, a large washer, a small washer, the spring, a small washer, a large washer and lastly a nut.

Enjoy.
