TRAIN GUTS PART 3

my u30b with the top on.took my 5 years to get right.and then I had to put stronger gear boxes in it.I already changed the pump to a log splitter pump 2 stage and the hyd motor to an equal gpm (13.5) so it would kick down on hills so it wouldn't kill the motor when it got too much hill.And the wheels should turn about 500rpm to get a good speed with 5 1/4 inch wheels.

this makes me want to buy one of these jiant trains and rev it up REALLY FUKING HIGH and SLAM it INTO forward,

@kuza261 I do that and spin the wheels. It kicks ass.

Absolutely brilliant job on the build mate. I take my hat of to you sir.

[petro062]

Thank You ... It took alot of drawing and fitting all the parts inside..  It runs great too.

[RailFanDavid]

you did a great job building that BN U30B.

that rocks!!!

My friend, that is outstanding!!! That has to be the coolest custom built mini scale locomotive I've ever seen. I think I understand now the reason for the hydraulics? The locomotive runs on hydraulic power rather than the Briggs & Straton American made engine you've installed. I first thought the gas powered engine was your motive power? That is absolutely awesome & my hat is off to you my friend for one BAD-ASS mini-locomotive. I love it's a BN as well. Perhaps ur next one could be a BNSF?
