EDM Models Chassis Concept

Ever since I took over the Agenoria Narrow Gauge kits I have wanted to sell them as complete kits. However, in the time I have owned them its got harder to get the parts with Mashima motors going out of business along with the gear manufacturer.

The advent of powerful small coreless motors has allowed the drive to be addressed and its the advent of the Bachmann NG7 locos has got us down the road of having axles and bearings we can use. Add to that CNC turned tyres and printed centres and we have most of the parts for doing complete chassis.

Axles

The Bachmann engines use a 3mm axle  and bearings and the quantities resulting from CNC machining has made these my new standard axle for outside frame narrow gauge locomotives. The dimensions of the axle are shown below:

The Bachmann engines and the Agenoria kits are inside frame chassis with dummy outside frames.
