Excellent work David. Great set-up to drill the roller bracket. Fantastic looking model. Cheers Nobby

I am pleased with how it is turning out for a quick to make model.

I do like that worm gear idea. 👍

Clever.

Very neat Mr Myford. I went to Camborne yesterday and parked near the butchers. In a nearby house was a Mamod traction on a shelf. I was sorely tempted to knock and ask if it was for sale. I didn't! I am looking forward to the next video.

There are always Mamods for sale on Ebay in various conditions. I thought the train dont stop at Camborne on a Friday, or was it Wednesday?

I like your setup for drilling the forks 👍 The steering is also very cool, I was wondering how you were going to do that 👍 Cheers, Alan.

Impressive Sir, thank you. Now, feeding the algorithm with bacon! Part 7 may feature a kitten. 🤞

How was the worm drive procured - made in house or off the shelf? You seem to make rapid progress on this build, wish I had the same energy!

[@myfordboy]

The brass wheel was made by turning to shape and mounting on my mill table. The "teeth" were formed with a small end mill and positioned using the PCD function on my DRO.
