TYKE 7¼” Kit

Description

Colin Edmondson design.

The Tyke is a development from the Scamp. A loco with a front facing seat.

Tyke has the same pulling power as a Scamp. Designed to be a petrol-electric or battery loco. Also benefitting from a quick changeover possible between the two. Allowing for quiet emission free running in the garden or when at an indoor event plus all day running with passengers at a club.

The transmission consists of a 1.5 horsepower petrol engine driving a 1 horsepower permanent magnet motor used as as a generator or dynamo.

The power generated is fed into a speed controller then through a reversing switch to the two half horsepower drive motors. The generator unit can be removed in a minute and replaced with a battery box to suit your need.

 

Measurements:

1350mm tall to the top of the roof.

810mm tall from the rail to the top of the controller handle.

985mm tall with the roof stowed for transport.

1515mm long over the couplings and 500mm wide over the frame.
