Saurer RR7 full build

[Gerhardvienna]

Yesterday was a bit lazy, I dont work in the shop on sundays! So I did some work on the screen again, a lot of measuring was still to do, while listening good music from Janis Joplin and other real musicians. Today I will do the next parts from spare materials, pics will follow then.

Back from the shop with new parts! The axels are almost all turned ,just one for the front wheels missing. I`m not as fast as so many others, but remember, there is no CNC in my shop, so I do it all the "olde way" by hand. Just a few milling for the driving key slots has to be done, this will happen when all the small turned parts are done.

Next to do were the axels to the rear trackwheels. Only one today (could`nt start in the morning), I turned it from hardened brass of 25mm dia. The largest diameter, 22mm now, will be milled down to a 18mm hex.

The last picture shows what was going on the last few days, the short pieces from post #24 above will be made new, they are`nt good enough:wall:

Next few parts done! The rough looking surfaces will be grinded and sanded to the correct measures, at the time they are all oversized +0,02mm.

Some of you may wonder, where I was at..............

Broken bones and a smashed motorcycle don`t really help you building models:wall:
But I`m back, and work at the Saurer will continue soon! Still something hurts, but recreation is going on, so I will be able to start again in a few days (or weeks?)
