Title: Santa Clause Visits CVLR
Post by: Phil Court on December 11, 2020, 17:42
Tis the season to be jolly (despite covid and brexit)

So to cheer me and the great grand kids up i constructed a new e-powered OO9 Santa-mobile.
Who needs  Rudolf  , Dancer and the others when we have a e-power NG sleigh.
Besides they are to dear these days!!!!

For the technically minded the motive power is a Kato 103 mounted in the presents wagon
Bodywork is styrene sheet.
The sleigh has a couple of Kato bogies.
Both weighed down by lots of lead.
I also used it to test out Vallejo Model Color paint that were a self inflicted Christmas present.
(I am just fed up with the smell cleaning up of Humbrol Enamels.)

There is a youtube video of the sledge in action here

Happy Christmas and a better new year to all at the OO9 society
Especially the behind the scenes workers and volunteers who do a great job with sales, magazine exhibitions etc, ect, ect.
