Bushings for Record-Breaking Miniature Steam Train
December 3, 2019
The team that was awarded the Guinness World Record in 2017 for the longest distance covered by a miniature steam train is setting its sights on improving its record. Keyser Locomotive Works, together with the Pietermaritzburg Model Engineering Society, in South Africa, was able to cover 330 km in 24 hours in its record-breaking attempt, which outstripped the previous 1994 record of 269 km covered in 24 hours. It did so for a number of reasons, one of which was the self-lubricating Vesconite polymer bushings that were fitted to the connecting and coupling rods.
