Castle Class WIP 2 - a photo on Flickriver

Castle Class WIP 2

            Progress has been ticking along slowly. Here's a close-up of the front end, focusing on the front footplate area, bogie, cylinders and valve gear.

Something I've learnt at a recent show: the leading set of wheels need some weight on them to overcome spring-loaded point blades that are facing the opposite road.

As with my Manor class, the rear bogie wheels are fixed (due to the space behind the cylinders). The front bogie wheels pivot on a single pivot (positioned just behind the rear bogie wheels). I've also designed a rubber-band mechanism to force those wheels down a bit, allowing for uneven track.
