    Thanks you kind sir!

    Gears in the frame. This is definitely not as high quality as the Ugears. Loose, sloppy and hard to figure out what order to put parts in when assembling the frame and gears.
  3. Don Quixote
    Dunno what it is, but it's done. It's a much softer wood and needs a little sanding here and there.
  4. Don Quixote
    Instructions and parts.
  5. Don Quixote
    I'm hoping I gained some experience, this big rig looks a lot more detailed. THANKS!
  6. Don Quixote
    I didn't realize this is not by Ugears. I hope the quality is as good.
  7. Don Quixote
    For another episode of, "As the gears turn," go here.
  8. Don Quixote
    Next, on, as the gears turn. Big rig, car carrier and jeep. Plus more of that amazing rubber reactors.
  9. Don Quixote
    Complete!

    I don't see how it will move the wheels. Movie.mp4

    Got all the parts in right and added a few pcs to the front end.

    So I was rebuilding and catching up when I broke an important part. Ordered another kit. Should be here today which is a good thing because I broke 2 more parts. That makes 3 kits I bought now.

    You been watching the Soprano's? I tried that AND some 4 letter words. I can take a lot of it apart and use the wheels/carriage, and the rubber power plant. Hopefully I can salvage the coupler for the tender. That was a pain to build. I love a bad pun!

    Well, this is a show stopper. Fortunately the models are only $50 and can be had in less than 24 hours from Amazon. I'll build it up to whre I am now and then continue my log. These pcs are upside down, and I can't change them without destroying them. The axles from the gears are supposed to sit in the pocket and another plug-in goes on top to hold it in place. Somehow I posted all this in "What have you done today". See the little hole in the side? I don't know why it's there because it serves no purpose. The divot is supposed to be on top, but I put it in upside down.
  15. Don Quixote
    LOL. Both sides are backwards. As bugs bunny would say... "What a maroon!"
  16. Don Quixote
    Wheels, on! See what else I did wrong? Not the first time, but this time it's way too late to fix.
  17. Don Quixote
    Doors and ladders on. And something to do with the piston linkage. Seems I put the cylindars on wrong.
  18. Don Quixote
    It was invented by The Spinners.

    Today's progress. Page 26. Another 6 hours into it today.
  20. Don Quixote
    Dunno what this is either. If you zoom in you'll see what look like gauges so I'm guessing it goes in the cab.

    There's a train museum in Carson City where, as I understand it, the first trains were deployed for the gold industry. They kept falling off the track so they added the Pilot trucks. Awesome museum. There's another in Sacramento that is my second favorite. I never realized how big those trains were until I saw them up close. Can't really get a perspective from a model.

    I used to build model railroads. Never paid attention to the parts, though.

    I have about 20 hours into this already. Page 14 of 46. I need a life!

    The larger train, (ROKR) uses steel rods and plastic grommets to hold things in place. This UGEAR uses toothpicks. They are MUCH tighter! With the ROKR the parts pretty much fell right out of the frames. I need to use a knife to the the parts out of this one. Notice how the gears all line up? Not so on the ROKR,

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
