First time in the sunshine in a while.  

EDIT:  Chuck brought to my attention the rear axle was off the track.  Found the rear truck hung up on a chassis bolt, all fixed.  Scheduled to have cataracts removed in Sept, can't wait.  thank you Chuck.

 Sean, here we go.  1: under fwd truck.    2: center gearing.   3: rear truck.   4: shows the radiant burner that Mike built into all the Climax.

then the video of it all working together.  In the video can even see the axle pump and valve linkage.  Thank You Mike for a priceless creation.

Sean, Jan, thank you.  Really this was the best view of it running ever.  On the track can only see it going by and not the actual working of the loco.  This was as a great idea, glad I could pull it off.

Great, the machine has to work properly, there is no automatic control for speed, as in real life. My first DC locomotives also ran like this, in a curve they slowed down. Well done Nick !

 

Regards

Jan
