Geography 101...... try Spain
And I wouldn't more that layout any further south than Christchurch, otherwise you'd be trying to pump the Bay of Biscay out of the shaft

Geology 101 - I hope the air conditioner in the cage is working well - It could get warm down there

The engineers plumb line was a little out of plumb as it was brought from the lowest bidder

The base board for the lower level was built a year ago, but I have yet to decide to if I am going to use it, or move the shaft on to its own dedicated module. I am worried that if I put the shaft here, by the time I get the high frame with the pulley on the top the module is going to be very high and long, making transport difficult.

But first I need to finish the incline from the yellow shed up to the bins behind the battery. I decided to rebuild it after my last 'helper' broke it at the last show.

So I will have to visit the model shop tomorrow to look for a bigger one
Oztrainz wrote:Hi Glen, Just a quick thought...Check out the front wheels on some of the cheaper diecast 1/18 motor bikes. They have spokes and they may be a larger diameter than what you have already. Loose the tyre and skim the width down and you may have an acceptable alternative.
