That's it now!! I have two complete final drives.
What an epic that was,
I think I would sooner make another two more gearboxes than one of these. For me! this part has been the most time consuming, intricate and difficult
part of this whole project and it is only one of them
. This type of work gives me a whole new perspective and appreciation what lengths some people go to for their project. Miniature steam trains, engines, cars, buildings and god knows what else
has been restored around the world with hours upon hours
but it's all worth it at the end.
This is now the end of the drive train fabrication. I will now lift out the engine for the last time and get it running before it goes back in and the final drives can be installed along with the tracks. That light is now getting quite bright at the end of that tunnel.
