(7) Tram - Getting the wheels turning, Hook fitting, 3D Printing & UniPart Rail


A few things have happened over the last couple of weeks.
I have started to get the wheels turned from the blanks, 3D printed a case for the control unit, and also went on a great tour of the facilities of UniPart Rail!
