Hi All,

Here are few pics of my recent project. Building WAP-4 in HO scale. I am still working on building bogies.

 

Cool.... 

Wow...this is fantastic... Will like to see this for sure.

Hello,
Excellent work there.
Which tracks are you using and,  arent you going to buy the bogies/truck?
I have an HO tgv duplex running on code 100 atlas track.
Do you have a layout?
Regards.
Nice kadee couplers btw

Thanks Friends. I will be posting more pics of loco shortly and working on bogies/trucks, pantographs and many many small parts.

 OSM OSM OSM work. Can feel how accurate your mind and hands working together. 

New bogie frame and new wheels. Lots and lots of detailing to be done...

Dear Shantanu are you making it for yourself or for some kind of exhibition ? or to be displayed at Mall? etc.

So much of detailing makes me crazy.

Detailing is fun and at the same time taxing too. If done properly end results are amazing.

Amazing work.

what are the wheels made of ??       metal ?

if yes ... did you turn them your self ?

Yes, metal wheels

I bought it.

Bogie with suspension and brakes in place.

Greetings Brother.
Great to see innovative work.
I have just commenced work on the Model Trains Museum.
The first item is ready. A working model of the IR WDM Diesel Locomotive. Its two feet long and weighs 30 Kgs. It runs beautifully, has smoke, lights and realistic horn.
My friend made it for me from scratch. I plan to have working Dioramas of each of the model Train Scales.
Will post pictures very soon. If you contact me on Whatsapp I can send you pictures.

Cheers!

Brilliant work Shantanu   Couldnt help to notice that youre from Mumbai... I too live in Mumbai at IIT Powai. Would love to meet you and see these models personally someday... I work in Balsa and Paper for static modelling but have always been interested in making Model Engines.My dad loves it. In fact I have many detailed plans for paper models which I have not built yet as I am constantly working on Aircraft models
Here's a link to my Jet Ranger Model totally made in paper last year..

Cheers

Shantanu, why is it for sale on trains4u?

@ShantanuBorate

nice

Can any one guide me to fabricate a single arm working type panto graph with step by step approach in Jpg format. Presently I am fabricating a WAP-7 loco in O scale. I need to have the panto  to serve as  to collect one supply rail preferably +ve rail. The -ve rail I have made arrangement for a pickup from the rails through wheels. Or else can any one sell a finished product with price so that i can have a couple of it to be fitted on top of my model.
