Not sure if this is the correct thread, anyhow I put this gadget together for a family member. He is a past rail worker of the steam days hence the gauge. The coins aren't all that flash but I think they did the job OK .
Cheers, Ray

Thanks for the positive feed back, we are happy with how it turned out. My uncle was a shunter at Coffs Harbour for many years, but he did drive what was known as a X100 class chain driven shunt tractor, predominately for marshalling the banana wagons but all that is now on road I think. Considering these were the days of demarcation issues, the odd thing is that someone from another stream other than a Train Driver was actually legal to do it. Something to do with the type of braking system fitted.
Very nice!
that is very groovy and obviously very special
have a great birthday bash with your uncle!
Nice piece of workmanship Mate , Beautifully made piece :yahoo::good:
