For Sale: All Nation Engine Drive Train Power Plant KIT PN#686ANK
NOTE: Photos of the O Scale Atlas Locomotive with the Power Plant is a Reference Model Only and is not for sale.
The All Nation Power Plant is a kit and consequently the modeler should have some mechanical engineering aptitude before tackling this project. You will need to be able to think through the assembly processes such as drilling and tapping for the screws, clean up of any 3D printing threads or build plate support structure, and or polishing the openings for the bearings in the event there is slight shrinkage following the print process. All 3D Printed parts are ABS.
It never fails, when we go to the O Scale model train shows, we come home with new projects, ideas and knowledge gained from other model builders. For this project, I refer kindly and call this the Canter Mechanism, because Mr. Canter loaned us his Atlas Switcher engine that was a highly upgraded power and drive train transmission system. Consequently, the impetus was to document the design and make it available via 3D Printing techniques either as a kit or assembled versions. The reference model, as seen in the video below, is machined in brass as the proof of concept but 3D printing the main structural components would prove to be more affordable while still using precision bearings throughout.
This document is a PDF and will provide a description, assembly and parts list included in this kit. Click Here: All Nation Engine Power Plant PDF
The above document goes into detail regarding the sprocket ratios, thus the design is intended for installation into a switcher engine. But that is not to say it could not be used in other engine applications or power for RDC, Gas Electrics, Traction Box Cabs etc.
This video provides a quick look at the original brass prototype known as the Canter Mechanism and the All Nation Line engine modeled using 3D printing. See below for parts list.
