Re: All aboard..
for the siding you can make your own if you have a lathe
i used to make the dies for domed silver wire out of steel but with thin alumium you could maybe use alumium round stock anyway make a cylinder about two to three inches in diameter your choice cut them both the same length IE i use some 2" stock and cut it four inches long and drill a hole clear though them both but with one hole smaller now you need to draw up what the finished siding would look like from a end IE ^^^^^^^^ but in your scale lol then chuck up one roller and make a positive that is the one that has the raised bumps on it just go slow and check and recheck it when its done do the other roller but i negative and this one is harder as it needs to be as close as it can to fit now make a frame and mount them so the top one adjusts up and down put the rollers on axles and make the top one turn with a crank i know i know it seems like a lot of work but if you just sit and think about it and you are handy it will click or if you have a mill you can cut two plates and use a arbor press sold and/or gave most of that stuff away when we moved down to Florida so i can't show pictures but will look on the inter-net grumpy |

Re: All aboard..
Nice job so far and really fast! You should put a sound system in it and play Weird Al's "Another one rides the Bus" when it's finished.

Re: All aboard..
Instead of wideners why not widen the axle itself. You seem to be a styrene master, and I'm sure you could build an extension to widen the axle.

Re: All aboard..
i'd have IHBUILDER make you some spacers to go between the hub and the rim. he did the rims right? should have no problem matching them up.
