Thanks very much! My multimeter is broken so I think this a good excuse to replace it. I have tried swapping round the three wires for the potentiometer, but it hasn't made a difference. I'm mostly annoyed with Andel for never getting back to me. Ah well! I found that if I fixed the battery pack on...

(Brief de-lurk) I too have one of these AnDel manual speed controllers, going into the same type of loco as yours. Mine works nicely... good piece of kit so far. Looks like you have the pot wired up correctly: blue to centre pin, white and green to the two outer ones. But I'd start the diagnostics i...

I do, but the loco in question is slip eccentric. LH stick, with ratchet, for regulator. RH stick (have removed spring, but not got around to sorting a ratchet) for whistle.Chris Cairns:91702 wrote:Thank You Tony.
I'm guessing the other 78 viewers of this Topic do not run 2 channel R/C live steam.

The bridge over 'troubled waters' looks good and seems to handle traffic without any problems. Yes, the fence (a.k.a. anti-Mamod device) has yet to be tested in anger! This section has been fine so far, though the tricky cutting just round the corner, next to the hedge, proved a popular spot for ru...

Richard, Have you seen www.huntleyarchives.com film 503? It contains scenes of shunting at Tooban Jct as well as some other Irish NG footage. Yes, brilliant stuff - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9fHocB3_Fw with the Tooban stuff at about 1:46. My best guess is that they're swapping wagons between...

So, we had a gathering here last Saturday for the local 16mm group, and it was wet. But we had plenty of fun all the same. Before kick-off, the late, lamented Lillington Tramway's Ruston diesel makes an appearance on a rake of tippers. ./myff/1648042/12-oct-02.jpg Lillington Tramway train again. ./m...

What may not be totally clear from the photo is that there are three bits here: the stand, the Y shaped bit that pivots in the stand and drives the point blades, and the lever and weight that also pivots in the stand and moves the Y shaped bit. The dimensions seem fairly critical (at least, one of m...

Re: Yatton Model Engineering

I have a couple of weighted levers which came from Keith Bucklitch's line a couple of years ago - very effective they are. Dave Watkins of this forum also has some of basically the same design, which was written up by John Oliveria in 16mm Today No. 25. It's a bit dark and wet just now to go and tak...
