I'm working on a seat that works as a seat and
can then be transformed into rudder.
then leave the swimming pool

Here landing in a landfill a few meters from the highway. An extreme situation.
Yet you can hear the laughter of my son at all times.

gibba. No, just a part. You'll see finished. But it will be interesting because it'll get from my house to the railroad and then continue traveling.

The line is in use. I'm doing tests. The next step is to test the engine. And then with the sail.

well justo ....nice photo....but.....needs explaining somewhat

Q1.... the pedals....how do you work these, is something missing?

Q2..... the rear wheel....does it run along on the sleepers....that wouldn't work here.

Q3...... the extra bits if square along the body.....what for?

but you did select a nice flouro paint job, and it looks an interesting whatsit!........

Gibber, the back wheel lines up with the left hand rollers by the look of it.

I'm guessing the pedals are just an intermediate shaft for the gearing reduction.

2nd vote for a great colour. Love it!!!!

Very clever how it's both modes of transport. Road and rail. Lots of thought gone into it.

The pedal "might" be for starting the engine which [I think] has a centrifugal clutch,

There are heaps of these "Z BOX" engines bolted to pushies around here,

They come in 22cc [or thereabouts] which is street and bikepath legal with no vehicle rego or drivers license required as they are under 1/4 horsepower.

Also available in 48cc and 60-ish-cc

I am pretty sure most of the kits around here are the 48cc version-which technically puts them in the moped or scooter category, which requires both rego and license - but the riders dont seem to be too worried about getting caught.

You can buy a brand new "BIG TARGET MART" bike and bolt one of these motors on for around $400 total, and with not having to have license, rego, insurance and getting 76578646547657mpg its cheap transport even compared to a regular scooter!

yep- there are a lot of either little used or unused narrow gauge trainlines here in W.A. too!
As far as I know- the ones that do get used are only for carting grain - and that a lot of those lines are supposed to be getting shut down and road transport used instead.
