Glad you are happy with it Rod, don't forget to keep that gas down :thumbup: I did offer to remove the spring in the Tx, however, it's very easy to do so have a go! I am extremely happy, has is Anne, Tom. You did a great job and I can't thank you enough. :salute: :salute: Has for the spring, I may ...

Great to see you've got things up and running, Rod. 28 mins sounds like a good long run for a live steamer to me. Rik Thanks Rik. It's been a bit of full on 18 months that's for sure...She could have gone on for longer, but like I said my finger was getting tired. I still need to drive her with som...

Thanks Don....

Brilliant.....

It's been sometime since I ran my Billy ("Patricia Anne") You may notice I have took the old name plates off. After Tom's maintenance on her and only finishing the relaying of the line on Friday, the rain stopped for Sunday. So after going to Fleetwood, it was a large fishing town in the North West ...

- sewing curtains this pm. A bit different to soldering..... :shock: Rik 1:19 scale curtains ? No, 12 inches to the foot ..... :? ;) Rik PS Sorry, Rod. Bit of thread drift here :lol: ..... thread drift, sewing :roll: ........ I'll get my hat! :oops: Just made my day mate..... :laughing3: :laughing3...

Wow Peter, that's fantastic...... :thumbright: :thumbright: It also looks like a Lego bogie with those dimples on it. Looks like I will need to be looking for one just like yours then.... :thumbright:. Opppps, my flipping eyesight is going to..... :lol: :lol: :lol: Thats what you get for not fully r...

That Tamiya connector looks at bit worse for wear. If you have soldering skills I suggest replacing them with XT30 or Deans connectors. Easily available from Ebay. I've always found the Tamiya connectors to be horrible - bulky and poor contacts that wear out quickly. Thanks Busted, I do have some c...

It's ge_rik (underscore) if that helps

Thanks, but even though I didn't have the underscore in this thread, it was in the PM I was trying to send to Rik.

Hi Rod, the white connector is a Tamiya connector as used on their range of RC cars, these should be available off-the-shelf from most model shops. I can't help with the others unfortunately. If you look at www.componentshop.co.uk and select Leads and connectors you will see a huge variety of types...

I have just tried to send ge-rik a PM and it says ge-rik doesn't exist. So just in case it's a web clinch, this is what I was trying to send. If any other member can assist it would be very much welcome....... So sorry to trouble you. I may have asked this question before. I have just got the batter...

Love the garden and the possibilities are immense. So much potential to expand and enjoy so much, you have long runs, most would kill for, including me.... :lol: :lol: Don't worry too much about members not replying, some just like to look and they don't find it easy to put to words what they think....

Filcris is expensive Mike. Wouldn't 5mm to 9mm ply do. A 6' x 6' board would do it, you will have loads of room to put anything else on it too. And if you use Flexitrack, you can have whatever radius you need. It's cheaper and lighter. Are you going to be using it for a temporary extension, that can...

The weathering on your "Jessie" is brilliant Peter. I love it.....
