Re: Mamod SL1 simple RC conversion

R/C control can make a real improvement to the Mamod loco 'driveability'. Merlin made an R/C conversion back in the day. You can get some more information and download the R/C instructions from here https://sites.google.com/view/peter-jones-loco-works/links-resources/aftermarket-parts/merlin-mamod-m...
