Schienenwolf + Div railroad accessories

[Bagge]

Thought i post up some pics of what's going on on the bench.
Will try to make a "Scheinwolf" a big hook that the germans used to destroy railroads when they retreated.

For disscussion purpose only.

And then a water tap, i know Terry is building a steam locomotive, so maybe you can give me a meassure on the hight of the train?

The mold and 2 wheels for the "hook" got a big airbubble but it was easy to fill with epoxyputty

The top part for the watertap.

This will be long term projects together with the WR360 C12 locomotive

Cool project! Do the hook first and let me get the Tender together to get the dimension you need for the water column.

Terry, The small pic of just the top is 1/35, rescaled it in Paintshop the other paper have all the parts in 1/35, the pic of the complete pump is a little smaller.
I think the height shall be good but wanna doublecheck it with a measure from you before i do the coned lower part.

Got the top of the waterpump done tonight, found a plastic ball in the kids room that was almost the right size (hope they don't miss it ) trimmed it down by setting it up in my small B&D drill and spinning it against a file .
Then i pushed it down in clay to make a simple mold.

Filled it with resin.

Voila!

A wheel is born

Mold filled with resin.

Wheel on the way out.

Started to fill airbubbles.

Found a good source for boltheads
Panther roadwheels, i think it's from an old tamiya kit (had Italeri to but the bolts where to small).
