Ferris Wheel
I was looking for another project and had been thinking about either a merry-go-round or a ferris wheel for this engine. Well the ferris wheel won out as you can see.
The total gear reduction is around 160 to 1. The gear box was from a D/C motor and gear reducer in one unit before I removed the motor and made an input shaft.
This is the same engine and another gear box that I used for pumping water in this thread. (https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/putting-my-model-engine-to-work-pumping-water.93097/)
Now I will have to build another display case but that's alright as now I need another project.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for looking
