11. Pantographs
On a static model of an electric loco, I mostly build my own pantographs in fixed positions (showing the loco in operation).
If you rather want mobile panto´s, you´ll find it on the market.
Or in case of a F-loco with function, take those from the "sacrificing model"!
37. Alongside running bars(0,70 mm). To be glued against the isolators.
38. Cross-bars, (0,70 mm), Glue against 37.
39. Stay, (0,50 mm). Glue against 37, on underside.
Notice! The wire-dimensions are just approximate!
40. Raised pantographs. To be bended into the right shape, of 0.30 mm wire. Glue them against 38.
41. Top rail of the panto´s (0.50 mm), to be glued against 40. and 43. respectively.
42. Cross stays (0,20 mm), glue against 40. resp 43. according to the drawing.
43. Pantographs in lower position, see 40.
Assembled pantographs.
On the centre of the tripods, a rektangular box (of pasteboard 1 mm) - with drop-shaped ends - should be mounted.
Of the roof details, it now just remains the two roof-cables. With help of the drawings, you can get the right shape of the those. On the picture above you can see them as they are mounted to the isolators.
