D8R +463 in 1/5,6

[9W Monighan]

I should post a couple pictures of the 1/3 scale D6H I was building for my son 20yrs ago. My recoil was a 2''x4'' tube sliding in a bent up piece of 1/8'' steel that was the track frame and my rollers bolted to a flange. I never got very far with it but spent a bunch of time making rollers and idles. I never had the $$ to buy a 2cyl diesel engine. Now they're much cheaper. The D1 project took a lot less$$ and time to build- about 2months.
