This Blog is dedicated to the students on the BTEC Extended Diploma Level 3 Manufacturing Engineering course at Bradford College. The idea behind the Blog is to record the work, discussions, ideas and manufacturing techniques that are used to make a Toylander vehicle. Most of the detailed parts have been supplied by Richard at Real Life Toys, Toylander. Other parts will be made by students in the workshop at college. Details will be updated so students can comment & get feedback on work.

Students Progress - Mar 2013
Due to various holidays and breaks assembly has slowed down a little, the Brake assembly is now fit and the motor mounting plates are almost ready to go on with the motors on. All wheel can be fit but rear wheel need aligning with the sprockets on the motors so we are waiting to fit motors before doing this.
Adjustment of the foot brake.
First fit of the wheels with R.W. T.A and Mr Ogden.
Rear wheel alignment with foot brake C.D.
Securing with Jubilee Clips
Students Progress - Feb 2013
Sorry for the delay in putting photo's up but with Half term and Easter it's been a bit manic.
The students have worked well and although delayed a bit due to bad weather we are finally starting to make better progress. I think the students are finally starting to get the idea of using this for comments for their BTEC project and although a little slow I still believe they will get some quality comments towards the end of the build.
U.R. Adjusting position of front axle.
C.D. T.A. & M.K. Securing rear axle.
Drilling and positioning holes for axles.
Removing excess weld on front axle.
Mr Ogden, T.A. U.R. & N.McN first coat of underseal.
Positioning front and securing rear axles.
