Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

Well I start off using the torch, then I will use the gun in tighter areas, but I would say its 50/50.

I tried using a damp cloth to help keep the heat from travelling. It works well but I am now doing smaller spots and then letting cool. plus learning how to work with clamps and clips are helping allot. :)

Here are a couple pics of my gun and torch. I have had the torch for a while but just boought the gun a couple weeks ago. It sure helps having both.

Wow! Very good scratch build, and unique of its kind! :D

Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

Once again, another work of art scratch build from Maddie and as B-Train said, completely unique!

Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

Thanks guys. I did a small video last night of it working but broke the left Eye loop. Was having troubles soldering it do I'm going to make a new one tomorrow when I get home. But I'll try and take some video of it at the show this weekend.

Msmaddie that is very cool.:) I don't recall ever seeing a dolly like that before, you did an amazing job. Your brass work really impress's me.:D
I can't wait to see what you come up with next...:eek:

Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

I agree. Great looking dolly. I've never seen one that was rigid and had self-steering wheels before either. Pretty cool. It looks really nice now that it's got a coat of primer.

Thanks for sharing the photos of your equipment. How long does the torch run on one tank?

Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

Thanks Big John,

We have them up in canada here, I'm hoping I can catch a set somewhere parked one of these days so I can get some pics. The ones we have at work that are retired are a different style.

I'm thinking about taking a break from the Rigs and build a trail truck. I have a Clod Buster body sitting on my work bench. Trying to figure out the best way make it out of metal. :)

Re: Brass C-Train Single Axle Converter
 

Thanks for the kind words. :) Thats the colour it will be staying. this wasy they will look proper with any trailer that I build in the future.

Not sure how long a full tank last for. I tend to fill it up before it even gets half way, so maybe 10 mins between the time I fill it. I went through one full Can of Butane building both those conveters.
