Subway Train Undercarriage R36 (CLOSED)

Finishing up the electrical shunts.

Moving on to the electric motors and transmissions next.

Put some time into the electric motors today.

I admit that this isn't the actual motor and transmission in the actual car but it's a pretty cool looking model none the less.
Getting good pics of these cars is hard as hell. They just aren't available on the internet and I'm relying solely on Ion for his wondrous patience in photo'ing  them at the New York City, Subway car display museum.

There were only two major, drive designs to choose from.
Inline and offset.

I opted for the inline for this model.

The windings are mounted around the wheel axle so the transmission box is really superfluous.
But it looks good anyway.

Heya

Lookin good.

So, I found the same to be true, impossible to find pics of these online. I did end up making it to the Transit Museum, but believe it or not here were no bogies on display at all. :(

I am hoping to source some cad prints from NYCT, but not having a ton of luck there.

wooooooooow  is  good

Looking pretty damn good :)
