Stephenson Rocket 1:32 train (1:32, OpenRailway)

Description
I mirrored and swapped the cylinders, and used copper wire for the stack support. Great model, thanks.
Motor was "2pcs Intelligent Car Gear Motor TT Motor Robot Gear Motor for Arduino New" from ebay. I made simple extension bushes and cut away toe main frame. Also, I added lead ins the boiler. \Batteries temporarily mounted under tender. (Perhaps I will design a battery holder there if I build another one)

Hi dagnall
Glad you liked my model of The Rocket.
Even more fun that you print a copy of this model.
This model was very appreciated as I understand now almost 5000 downloads.
When I was over in England now this fall so we decided to go to York and visit the railway museum there. There was a replica from 1936 of this model, but also the passenger carriage. So I thought the Rocket will not be complete if this trailer are not included. Now that you have shown your nice model, I thought I'd mention that a coach will soon be uploaded on thingivers. in a few weeks

Glad you think it is a good model. Your copy looks good. it was unlucky that I swapped the steam cylinders. But it works to mirror these
