Built in Brass



marked, cut and formed the smoke stacks for the models from 0.6mm thick brass shims after positioning them and filling off to fit, attached them with soft solder.
then formed the cab roofs from 0.6mm thick brass sheet and formed the curves in them on my home made "english wheel"
Am not sure about how to attach them to the cab tops, had initially planned using mini magnets as used to retain the roofs of my other models, but I have had bitter experience cutting magnets to size and do not want to tread that way.
Alternatively can use a "snap-fit" mechanism.

Also marked and cut out the blank for the radiator frame, made the end folds on the press brake, prior to cutting the internal recess for the grill. then used the vertical metal band saw to cut out the profile of the recess. Finally filled to shape.

Here are some photos.

If the roof is Brass, how can you use magnets? Cyano works well on brass, but I guess you need the roofs removable.

Make a small shoulder inside and keep it a light press fit?

Dear Sir,
I have used on my coaches brass bracketes to hold the ceramic magnets in place. The brackets are in turn rivetted using solid copper rivets to the underside of the roofs. All 4 ends of the inner face of the roofs have soldered brass guide angles to assist in holding the roofs in place once fitted on to the models. Please refer to attached sketch for more details.

the chassis of the ndm6 is now complete.
I have etched primed it with diluted acid and post cleaning it with a light detergent, applied a coat of the grey primer.
Will apply the matt black finish coats after allowing the primer to cure for 48 hours.

On the body shell have added the sand box and fuel filler caps along with the vertical handrails.

Turned the horns in brass on my lathe, soldered the horn brackets on the engine cowl and used brass m2 screws to attach the horns to the brackets.
Similarly formed the coupler retainer shackle hooks from 1.6mm dia brass wire and soldered them to the buffer beams.
turned and formed the coupler from 30mm dia brass stock.
photo shows mockup of the buffer beams.

finally the ndm6's have been painted, wired and fitted with the 2.4ghz rc units.
all that's now left are to touch-up the paint job and add the coupler links, window glazing and fine tune.
Then should be ready for a track test video shoot.
