Hello guys! This is a little project I have been working on since last week. A 5" gauge Ruston and Hornsby 88Ds Locomotive.

I have a few original works drawings, and it all seems to be coming along quite nicely. The current project is working out the suspension system.

The locomotive will be powered by a 12v 150Watt motor. Here are a few pictures of the design progress so far.

Keep watching this space for more updates.

A bit more work done this week on the Ruston. Mainly finalising the frame rails with holes and brackets galore. Also work on the suspension studs and axle boxes.
