Re: Feldbahnmuseum Herrenleite

No Sykes, No Symes his name is Horst Lichter. A popular book author, chef, television chef and presenter in Germany. He likes to speak in the Rhenish dialect, which is also the case for me sometimes difficult to understand. But that's no surprise, since I live south of the Weiswurscht equator. Greet...

Re: Shunting on the wrong track!

That's why the parts are also called "pole pockets". Seen here on a detailed Lumber Jack.

Perhaps one day I'll neaten up the pipework like you have, it looks really good. Hi Andrew, Back in 2012, as time flies, I bought the pipe fittings from pm-research in America, only back then you got a cast tree with all the fittings, crosses, corners, etc. 2010081028_fittings1.jpg That you had to ...

Nice paint job, will follow the post. And it's a good thing that the pictures no longer run via photobucket. The watermark doesn't allow for proper viewing. If you open the link in a new tab you can get the watermark out, but the view is a lot smaller. Or am I doing something wrong. I gave my Konrad...

Re: A relaxing watch.

Schöne Linie, sicherlich besser aussehende Loks als die Yanks. But technically very interesting. The 4 cylinder drive and the simplicity of the design of the locomotives are unique. I like them very much. I don't want to brag :oops: , but in the state of Tyrol-Austria there is also a beautiful cog ...

Well, we don't have such ridiculous climbs as Mt. Washington, but our Schafbergbahn doesn't have to hide either. A difference in altitude of 1200 meters (3937 ft) is overcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A849T3Gc1VI It is run with the original steam-powered (very rare) locomotives or with newer ...

Again, it's the other way around, it's garden train related, but has a real model.

Hello all, I'm resurrecting this post from a long time ago. A few days ago I bought a used Merlin Maestro. As described in the article above, it runs better forwards than backwards, i.e. backwards actually not at all. I have some knowledge of setting controls on model locomotives. But somehow I can'...

Re: Battery charging issues

Batteries and care for maintaining the charge is a separate chapter. I switched all batteries to eneloop/Sanyo. Do not need these as a supplier of driving current in battery locomotives, but for transmitters/receivers. Was able to determine that battery packs that were not used for more than 1 year ...
