That sounds like an interesting project.
I reckon that the lock is one of those jobs that appears tricky at first
glance, but once you come to think about it, a real simple solution will
present itself.

Thanks Richard - yes, the diameter is a bit flexible & that would be big
enough. To make the problem a little clearer (?) this wheel is wanted for
the drive system under a HO scale canal. One big sprocket at one end under
the turning pool, two smaller ones at the other - ditto, & a couple of idler
wheels to hold everything in shape (coming down the narrow central canal
section) The chain carries a series of rare earth magnets that pull the
barges along thru' the water.
We did have the whole system operating on cable drive with MDF pulleys (on
spring arms for tensioning) but the customer wants to revert to his original
concept of chain drive.
Once we get all this sorted it's back to getting the working lock to do just
that (work). And they wonder why men drink????
