Thanks for your work.

Is it designed to fit Rokuhan's shorty chasis?

Best regards

Part list:
B600
- 4 Märklin wagon wheelsets
- 2 M1 6mm countersunk screws
- 2 M1.2 0.5mm thick washers

Gklm
- 2 Märklin wagon wheelsets

1100
- 1 shorty motor unit (better the shinkansen type)
- 1 Micromotor.eu 615S. motor
- 1 08 id 1.0 od brass tube (Albion Alloys)


Building instructions:
B-600:
1) snap wheelsets into bogies, make sure they roll freely
2) screw bogies into chassis the chassis columns (washer between bogie and chassis column)
3) insert chassis into shell

Gklm
1) snap wheelsets into conical bearings


1100
1) remove all parts from shorty. Cut thin copper wires from PCB. Preserve thin copper wires connected to geared bogie
2) remove worm from motor with gear puller
3) fit brass tube to the worm, trim tube and insert worm into 615 motor
4) insert geared bogie into chassis
5) solder thin copper wires to ungeared bogie. Wires must go through cuts into the chassis, screw ungeared bogie to chassis
6) slide 615 motor into its craddle
7) solder motor wires to the top of the geared bogie pick-up, here is how is should look like 8) reuse shorty ballast brick by gluing 2 under the roof of the shell and 1 under the chassis belly.
9) insert chassis into shell (tight fit)


additionally, if you want to use the bogie sides:
3.1) file the bogie sides of the shorty so that they are completely flat
3.2) glue the resion bogie sides to the shorty bogies

See message I was writing while you inquired. It uses most components from a shorty. Not the motor though as this last was too thick to fit into the correctly scaled hood.

As requested by Joao, shells with cut windows for printing in colored resin.
However I do not advise to use them as the shells are weaken by the cuts and may warp during printing/curing.

Huge effort. Thanks for this great work will try printing some.
