show us a vid of it jamie when you set it back up
is still trying to figure out how to not go over the weight limit but the wheel arrangement has changed from
4-6-2 to 0-6-0
If you need to lose weight in the machine try only making the top bit a facade and have the drive and weapons base armoured, still looks like a train but it will be less easy to kill.
* Wonders whether CO2 piston exhaust will look like steam *
i think im gonna need all the help i can get but jordan that sounds like a good idea
also dimension problems
by the way jordan if you want this can be a shared bot between you and me
How about instead of using an 0-6-0 arrangement, how about you use a 2-2-2 arrangement? That way, you would save weight, seeing as you wouldn't need to use a mock-Stephenson-Link mechanism on the wheels.
Yes, I know what that is, so give me my sadness badge!!!
Thing is with a 2-2-2 though, would the look of the steam train not be lost a bit? With a 0-6-0 it's got the distinctive look of a steam train but I've not seen many (if any) 2-2-2 setups so I don't know if people would associate that with trains. Just my thoughts. Either way, it should hopefully look like a cool robot
My mistake Mark - I've just Googled it and there are plenty of 2-2-2 locomotives that are very clearly steam trains.
0-6-0 means no leading wheels, 6 drive wheels and no trailing wheels hence 6wd.
Only the middle pair of wheels are driven in a 2-2-2 arrangement meaning weight wasted on unpowered wheels.
The coupling rod could be used to provide 6 wheel drive being both functional and good looking.
The idea for that would be that all 6 wheels are powered, however it only looks like the 2 middle wheels are powered...
