Price 16 Wheeler
Price 16 Wheeler
There is a PDF file build diary for this locomotive <HERE>. This is one of this locomotives that at first glance seems utterly crazy. Yet, after careful reflection everything seems, not only logical -but cunningly correct! The design is a crib of a design from a competitor -but in this case Price have added improvements making it a far more usable lockey. It will be noted that Price as a company were never that innovative -but took working designs and ideas and improved on them. It may sound like somewhat of a cheat -but their products are still around....
Here is my favourite picture of a 16 wheeler. It is from the Alexander Turnball Collection.
Obviously this one has had a hard life -witness that fact that part of the fire wood is forming the side panel...
The model is powered by 4 IP ENG budget chassis and the motors are Italian SME as mentioned in the build diary.
