Ernst Plank Hot air trolley / tram ... 65mm / 8 gauge 1900 + -

Carey WilliamsOGR Forum Member

Hello Tinplaters ...at York I could not believe my eyes when seeing an Ernst Plank hot air tram / trolley ..without a phone # for a price tag ...so home it came ...best part a loop of track was part of the deal ... I've been playing with it a bit ..the motor runs ..but not for long enough periods to run around the track ...I'm using denatured alcohol as a fuel ... but using the old wick ..so ordering a new wick ... cleaned off the heating tube ...oiled everything ...hope the new wick is the answer..to resume regular schedule trolley service .

Any secrets to be shared by follow hot air operators ?

Anyone out there have any catalog cuts of the Ernst Plank hot air line ?? ... these date to 1900 ?

Thank you very much ..... once I get her rolling ..I'll post a video as proof ...

Cheers Carey
