LAKIN BEN HUR FOUR HILL CHARIOT RACER ARK
A single sheet to be used with designs MFD1 or 2. The plan shows the 32 section bottom with dimensions for the steps, gates and stretcher gates in 1/24th scale. John Girvan’s prize wining model, pictured left, of the Jennings ride was built from this plan.
LAKIN SUPER ARK WITH FOUR HILLS
A single sheet for use with design MFD2 and requires plans and instructions for MFD1 & 1A. Half size plan view of trams, sleepers, gratings and roundings with major dimensions and step and gate heights – 1/16th scale.
NOAH’S ARK SPEEDWAY 1/12th SCALE
Two sheets of drawings for use with designs MFD1, 2 or 3. Requires MFD1. The first sheet details the centre drive which uses the prototypically correct bevel drive from the motor/gearbox to a vertical shaft which then drives the cheese through spur gearing. This design used the now obsolete Hectoperm motor/gearbox but other motor/gearbox units are available to replace it. I have built a complete Waltzer centre truck from this design. The second sheet details the mounts – 1/12th scale.
