I have most of the parts to begin building the frame and powerplant for the train engine
enclosed is pictures of parts so far.
4 36" 3/4" Tube steel
2 of the 3 large casters that will be used for the axels of the train
8 2" casters for rail runners
4 5" casters to e used as axels for 2 cars
and a wiring harness from a powewheels motor.
just need to find a good welder who can weld the frame together
will keep you posted March 02 TRAIN BUILD UPDATE!!TRAIN BULD UPDATE!! Well I believe I have found the motor for my train. $155.00. Its a twin axel shaft so would not need a sprocket or chain. Will probably need a speed control will test it first. NPC sells motors for robotic battle bots. as well as wheel chair motors. http://www.npcrobotics.com/products/viewprod.asp?prod=38&cat=20&mode=gfx Here is the cad for the motor. http://www.npcrobotics.com/cad/npc-2212.pdf here is the Dynamometer specs
Im not a good welder so I will have to find someone who can weld my frame together for me . That will be a challenge. Other wise Im getting closer to buildinf the frame and power plant for the train then the next step will be the chassis. Will keep you posted. |
