Gents,

Thanks for the comments on the workings of Joe. I have access to half a fork lift and four tampers, so it looks like it is time for some design work.

Cheers

Pete

Gents,

Could someone post a few more pictures of "Big Joe" showing the drives view and the mechanics/controls. I have been watching the discussions regarding this build for some time and would really like to put soemthing together for our short line (just 1 mile) of 3'6' gauge here in New Zealand. Like all groups we are always challenged by what can be done with a small group of (unfortunately) aging members, so a bit of automation for this back braking task would be great.

Thanks
