I'm wanting to install r/c on the throttle of my Caledonia and need some advice as to servo placement. Has anyone done this? The bunker does not seem quite big enough for correct servo positioning (Hitec Hs-82MG servo). I can just about get the servo on the floor of the cab between the gas tank and the gas jet holder, but it's tight and I wonder about too much heat. Batteries to go underneath between the frames (a 4 cell AA holder just fits). Alternatively, obtain a 4 cell AA or AAA premade battery pack and put that in the bunker. Deltang Rx-102 in the bunker.

Any photos of an r/c install (either factory fitted or after market) in the Caledonia would be very helpful. Anyone?

Thanks,
Greg

While I have a Mona, I'd be interested in any pictures of r/c in Accucraft IoM locomotives too - Pretty Please! David

I am going to be doing an RC Accucraft Mannin at some point too. Not quite sure of how as yet as the body seems really complicated to get off compared to other Accucraft models as I need to get the reverser servo in under the body and a servo in the bunker, 4 AAA battery pack underneath along with a Deltang RX-102.
Seems like I am not the only one with a challenge ahead, lol

Best of luck people

Thanks, You too!
I thought that about the bodywork. D
