did you build the hunslett straight fro the drawings and did you find any errors

[paujmid]

I used photographs and a line sketch from the Quarry Hunslet book by Cliff Thomas.

Only errors were of my own making.

Did you add sound to that Orange Hunslet?

Because it kinda sounds like it's chuffing from time to time :-)

[paujmid]

No the gears need meshing properly but as always I ran out of time. It was either meshing properly or get no. 2 finished.

There is room to fit a sound module in the smoke box.

ok, Sadly I'm Australian so the costs would be way to high for me.

But your coaches are wonderful to look at.

Anyway, the way it sounded, you could have thought it was a actually a live steam version. :-)

Will be interesting if you do eventually add chuff and whistles into one.

Is there plans for maybe a closed cab version?

[paujmid]

Yes we will be looking in to doing a full cab version but it will have to clear the tank.

A Hunslet supposed to be a Steam engine...

[gentarion]

love the red one

[gentarion]

tep i guess he did, or its the connecting rods on the wheels thath make the sound but i doubt it, just do some google'ing and you'l probably find out more
