Rebuilding a Cheddar Plover Maxi Minor Steam Plant
« on: December 13, 2021, 10:27:29 pm »
As part of my quest to acquire an example of each engine in the Cheddar Models range, I recently picked up a pair of Plover engines mounted onto a common base. This would've originally formed part of a Plover Maxi Minor plant.

Not sure what happened there - I consider myself fairly computer literate but jeez this forum is harder to use compared to any of the others I am a member of!  {-)


Perhaps a moderator would care to delete and I'll have another go at posting...

Look like ends from "Huco" couplings.

Cornwall Boats (UK) or Harbor Models (USA)

You can choose the shaft diameter of each coupler end to match it's respective drive shaft
