HOn2½ Box Cabs - "The Twins"

Upon testing the drive, I found that there was not enough pressure of the motor drive shaft pressing on the rubber wheel to drive the brass chassis. Probably won't pull to many cars either. So I went with a belt drive. I did make my own pulleys but bought the neoprene drive belts from Nigel Lawton because I could not source it in the USA.

Next I turned my attention to adding air tanks to the roof with their associated cooling pipes. The pencil helps with size of how big a drill was used to drill holes for the hold down wire.

The wires were twisted to hold down the piping and soldered.

Added two exhaust pipes made from copper tubing and brass tubing. Plus added two fuel tanks and associated lines.

Added handrails.
Here you can better see the sliding doors installed.

The finished chassis' and roof's.

Getting them ready for paint. The you can readily see the difference between the vapor blasted parts to the original tarnished parts.

Finished paint job.

And I screwed up. The decal that was to go on the sides needed a white background. So I had to repaint the sides white and mask off where the decal was to go.
