Step 33: Put rim 1 of the driving wheel

[J1, Bogen 3] with the gold-printed side

downwards onto your worktop. Glue the

inner hub parts 1 to 3 [J2 to 4, Bogen 3]

together, so they form a block and glue

this block on the centre of the rim. Make

sure that the holes in the centre that will

take the axle are exactly aligned and stay

free from glue. You can check this before

the glue sets by pushing the rim onto the

axle.

Step 34: Glue the inner parts 1 to 4 [J5 to

8, Bogen 3] onto the back of the rim so

that they make up a complete ring. The

inner edge of the rim (between the

spokes) should be ﬂush with the inner

edge of this ring. After the glue has set,

glue a second layer of inner parts (J9 to

12, Bogen 3] on top of the ring, with the

joints slightly shifted. Again wait till the

glue has set, then glue the third layer of

inner parts [J13 to 16, Bogen 3] on top.

Check several times in between that the

half-wheel doesnʼt warp.

Step 35: Glue the outer hubs 1 to 3 [J17

to 19, Bogen 3] together, making sure that

they are completely ﬂush, and with the

gold-printed disc on top. Donʼt glue the

stack to the rim yet.

The Driving Wheel 2

Step 36: Repeat the procedures from

Chapter J to construct the second half-

wheel. The parts are all on Bogen 4 and

have the same numbers, except that the

letter J is replaced by K.

Questions and Answers

The Ferris Wheel doesnʼt turn because the Steam Engine runs too slowly. What can I do?

✴ Make sure that the Steam Engine is properly adjusted. Only with optimal adjustment will it run fast enough and supply enough power

to operate the Ferris Wheel. The speed of the Steam Engine is a good indicator for the correct adjustment. Check the manual for the

Steam Engine for hints of how to set it up properly.

The Ferris Wheel still doesnʼt turn although the Steam Engine runs properly. What can I do?

✴ Remove the driving belt and check that the Ferris Wheel turns without any noticeable friction and that all gondolas can swing freely

around their axles. Check that the axle of the Ferris Wheel can turn freely in its bearings. The silicone tubes should not rub against

the bearings! Sometimes a small drop of oil helps.

Can I put small ﬁgures in the gondolas?

✴ Of course! But you have to make sure that the weight of the ﬁgures in each opposite gondola is exactly the same.

Step 37: Glue the two half-wheels back to

back with the spokes being aligned. Make

sure that the holes in the centre are

aligned and check this by sticking the

wheel onto the axle.

Step 38: Now glue the two outer hubs

onto the driving wheel and stick it onto the

axle before the glue has set. This way you

can be certain that the wheel doesnʼt

wobble. After the glue has set, push the

last piece of silicone tubing onto the end

of the axle and push it together with the

one opposite ﬁrmly against the driving

wheel to lock it on the axle.

The ferris wheel is now complete. It

should turn quite freely so that it will turn a

few times on its own after pushing it once.

No excessive friction should be apparent

at any point of the rotation.

Chapter L

The Small Driving Wheel

The small driving wheel only has one rim,

we use the hub of the steam engineʼs ﬂy

wheel as the other one.

Step 39: Glue the 6 inner parts of the

small driving wheel [L1 to 3, Bogen 1; and

L4 to 6, Bogen 2] together to form one

block. Again make sure that the holes in

the centre are exactly ﬂush, which is a bit

tricky since the parts are quite small.

Step 40: Glue the two rim parts [L7,

Bogen 1; and L8, Bogen 2] ﬂush onto

each other and then the block made from

the 6 inner parts onto the grey glue mark.

Step 41: Remove the outer piece of

silicone tubing holding the ﬂy wheel on the

crank shaft of the steam engine and ﬁt the

small driving wheel, the smaller block with

the 6 inner parts ﬁrst. Then secure the

driving wheel in place with the silicone

tube pushing ﬁrmly against it.

Tip: If the free end of the crank shaft isnʼt

long enough for the driving wheel to be

ﬁtted, just move all other silicone tubes on

the crank shaft a bit.

Step 42: Operating the Ferris Wheel:

Start up the Steam Engine and stand the

ferris wheel next to it so that the two

driving wheels are exactly in line. Put the

drive belt (rubber band) over both wheels

and pull the Ferris Wheel away from the

Steam Engine until the rubber band just

starts to become tight.

And off we go!!

We wish you lots of fun with your Ferris

Wheel. Maybe you have other ideas for

models that can be driven by the steam

engine? Give it a try and let us know

about it. We are looking forward to your

photos and videos!
