What material are you using for the sleepers?

Andrew also has problems with his Little John:

You need to take a step back and start with the basics.

Disconnect the battery from all wiring connected to the loco and try and charge the battery with the charger separately.

Tramway in the garden, 1958:

Wonderful Grant.

There is no need to say anymore as the pictures speak for themselves.

Have a go at running your loco like this without a Slomo:



This is what I call "fairly slowly"

The link in your last post is the correct one to use Chris so I added the video tags and as you can see it now works:

For reference:

Haha, well when the device is fitted you will not need to film the loco in slow motion.

Hi Chris,

Also, this is how you embed YouTube videos into posts:

Great video Chris.

Another example of why I think SSP Slomos are a must for realistic running!

I am a big fan of SSP Slomos as you all know, this video demonstrates why!

If you use the Peco ST-607 curves with matching short radius point you can get a loop with the point included as it is the same radius as the ST-607 curve.

This is not possible if you are trying to use the original ST-605 curves.

This popped up on my YouTube feed today:

I use to have a dog bone layout and I sprung loaded the points so they would always set the way I wanted each time after a train would pass through them.

Check out the RWLR thread by searching for it as I posted how I went about installing springs.

Brilliant!

It is all rather spectacular what you and your wife are achieving Dazza.

Got any footage of it in action please?

Thanks for the pictures. I quite like the standard cab of the Wren as it will be easier to make and allows unrestricted access for operation and maintenance. The MES I am a member of has suggested to give LibreCAD a try for creating drawings of the square saddle tank and cab so they can be sent off ...

Why do you want to use plastic track?
