Hi Steve, Similar thoughts had been going through my mind. I like the idea of the wire through the chuff flute. I was thinking about it running down the center of the exhaust and drilling a tiny hole between the two exhaust inlets on the roundhouse adapter. IMG_5988.jpg Of course your idea would be ...

Radio Controled Summerlands FX Chuffer
I've been cooking up complicated ideas again... :roll: I've just invested in a Summerlands Chuffer and I'm wondering if anyone else has conceived the idea of being able to remotely control the chuff level? I've got a Slomo which has just arrived to fit to my Lady Anne which will be set up to be able...

Re: Southwold coach
I’ve 3D printed springs in PLA for a 00 gauge tension lock servo operated uncoupling device with great success. ABS is springier so probably even more suitable!

I found this thread on RM web. Not sure if it helps but near the end someone has a system using wire as compensation for the axels. Not sure if some of the concepts could be borrowed? https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/6484-cleminson-chassis-drawing/ Ps I now really want to make a 3w...

Re: NEW FORUM FUNDING
My random thought that I've suggested to the admins is how about using something like Patreon to fund the forum.
It would only take 30 people paying £0.50 per month to cover the costs by my reckoning...
Amazing value for the content that people share here to my mind.

Re: Internet "forums" are a thing of the past
Why do you say that Tony. Most of the members I know don't like to be associated with FB. A tip for HugoFitz: If you are using Chrome (and maybe other browsers) there is a thing called AdBlock Plus that will stop you from seeing adverts. For Facebook itself there is a thing called Facebook Purity (...

You will find Jimmy, that FB is not one of the favourite platforms for most of the forum. That is a brave statement. 2 reasons I don't like Facebook Ads The transient nature of posts.

What I would like to see is THIS forum continue, with the site and domain name transferred, along with any other administration to a new owner, and nothing being lost.

I've found this which looks interesting. https://garden-railway-forum.tribe.so/ I've had a quick scoot around this, it's limited to 500 members for free, I can't see how much storage we get for that though. It also looks pretty easy to configure we can "borrow" the existing layout from her...
