Garden Railway Forum

I forgot to update. The box arrived safely on Friday last week!

My dad dropped him an email for a quote to see if he would get an answer. He did so he questioned him about my box and it had been marked as sent on the paperwork but he found it in his stores. It's going to be delivered tomorrow so will keep you posted on if it turns up.

I'm having problems with loco boxes to. I ordered my box in August to be posted originally and was told it would be there within 20 days. I then had an email to say it was held up. I then arranged to collect it at the Exeter garden railway show. When I arrived at the stand I was told it wasn't ready...

Had a letter confirming price at £3695 for manual and £3995 for r/c. Due summer 2016. They want a deposit of £995 then three payments one each quarter of £1000.
Cheers Colin

Not that I have seen. As Joe said there was a pair on EBay a few weeks ago. They sold for around £66 I think

Hi,
I have a Accucraft lyn in Southern green which i have had for around 6 years. It is currently radio controlled with one servo on the reverser as purchased. Has anyone done a conversion to add a servo on the regulator?

The etched parts are fairly easy. Alot of it is folded up and then soldiered. You could practise soldering up using off cuts from the etch.
