I have been trying to get caught up on the many engine projects I have going. I thought I would do some rework on the Cracker Train. I decided to change the power plant to one more like Elmers Standby. I had to modify several parts to make it work. I will add some more detailed pictures when my camera battery is charged.

Hope you like

Dave

Dave,
You've got quite the runner there. Very nice work and the engine mods look great. A cracker has been on the build list for some time and all the
examples on here will help me get going on it. Will you build a track for
it or can it run on a suitable flat surface?

Regards,
Maverick
 
I hope to do a small dia track with a pivot air supply fo it. I dont plan on running it on steam. I had put this on hold till I got the motor sorted out. I will complete the cab and other little items in between the team build.

Dave
 
Nice Job, Dave! I like the way you modified it to use the crankshaft valving rather than making it a wobbler.
