Have a look at the Deltang transmitters and receivers. You may like to build your own Deltang transmitter. The receicers have an integrated ESC. And they are very small.

I also have wondered about bits and parts from PPS. When I started with garden railway 5 years ago, I did find some nice headlamps from PPS, that fits perfect to my RH Billy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fxu4kak0yr9f7j/Headlamp-1%20450.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/bxadf9jrx6l40xa/Headlamp-2%204...

Sound module for buildings on layout

I was surfing the net some weeks ago, and I found a site with small sound modules to put inside buildings to simulate sound effects like steam pumps, workshops, blacksmiths, and so on. Can't find it anymore. Forgot to save the website. I think it was a UK-site. The modules runs with battery and did ...

What is time spent in real time to put all the stuff into place before running the trains? Thought about this now after visiting your garden last autumn.
And how long time to put all trains and stuff back into garage and boxes?

Problem actually solved: Just keep the batteries full charged and don't run at high speed.
My charger evaluetes the cells condition before charging. Charging takes not more than one hour. Then the engine runs well for 2-3 hours.

A little engine and tipper wagons has arrived at the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy). :D The engine is a IP Engineering Orenstein & Koppel kit, and the tipper wagons are from Slaters. This little train will soon run on a new line - from a copper mine to a loading silo. http://forum.mjf.no/uploads/72/OK...

Any suggestions about brand of readymade turnouts or ideas about how to build/rebuild turnouts for 32mm gauge. The Peco SLE691/2 ...

Deltang Rx60 in a IP Koppel Engine

Hello I'm just into building my IP Koppel engine, and have just learned about low-melt-soldering. :) But when building this engine there is a little problem about making space in the chassis for the batterybox that followed the kit. I have ordered a Deltang Rx60 receiver and a Tx-20 transmitter to o...
