Garden Railway Forum

Need to be wary of some reviews. Over here there are some who just post reviews who haven't even seen or done anything with what they are reviewing and some companies use there own people to review something for company rewards...

I am looking forward to Philip making the video for us all to see how the sound is in his loco Your wish is my command, Rod! :lol: The video is over on my Gmeinder loco build thread.... For inexplicable reasons, I made the 4 handrails 48mm long instead of 32mm long. I knew it looked wrong but it wa...

Hi Simon, Great to hear from you. Where does one start on his /her journey into our garden railway hobby ;) ..... The main thing is to enjoy yourself and hopefully it will bring you so many rewards. and maybe lots of friends through this forum and when you meet other like minded garden railway enth...

Well I think it's going to be brilliant Drew. It's a long journey sometimes to get to something we are happy with, and then I don't think we are all of us, happy are we with want we end up with, there is always something or another that we think needs doing to improve it. :thumbright: Carry on Drew ...

Hi Simon, Great to hear from you. Were does one start on his /her journey into our garden railway hobby ;) It's something most of us can relate to making huge mistakes and then regretting what we have done. You however seem to be ahead of most of us with the early planing of your line. You are one o...

Nice that Philip. Love the colour too, it looks proper moody

I think curved members come with age?

Thanks for your replies guys. I wasn't having ago at anyone in the thread and like I said I did find it interesting reading, but far too complicated for me to understand and I know that between you all you have sorted the problem out. I still don't think I could do anything like the programming at a...

On reading this thread I am glad it's all worked out Philip, yet for me and I presume most of use who are not that well informed with electricity stuff, buying a 'Cheapo Sound Card' isn't something that would be worth it for use, possibly because we would end up blowing stuff up with all those resis...

The lineside workers soon got the line cleared and full service resumed quickly for the rest of the season.

Lucky though, it could have been much much worse, lucky no one was injured.

I knew if I put it off long enough my guide would be unnecessary! (Almost done anyway!)

Hope you can both can enlighten soon...

Take them to charity shops, they may take them or leave them in Doctors surgery, might be better then all those women's and home & garden magazines...

Thanks Steve, there perfect

This is what I want, the item in the photo isn't the size I want, it would have 54 printed on the belt and not 42... I know there is £3.33 postage on these but cheap enough at 34p each https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814325775.html Thanks for that Steve. :thumbright: They are not wide enough unfo...

I can understand that problem Rik when producers sell something that is electrical or mechanical, then there could be issues, but I think what Keith S is talking about is building models kits which usually have no moving parts, so wouldn't it seem right that producers should sell to those countries....

Thanks Steve,

I have a Deltang, but I don't know which one at the moment, it's packed away with my locos.

Whats a Y cable though Steve...

I would love to know how in really simple layman's talk.. :lol: how to fit a sound card to a battery loco, but wiring is a little bit confusing for me at times... :thumbright: Hi Rod The MyLocoSound card is dead easy to fit. Two wires to the battery (via the loco's on off switch), two wires to the ...

Well it works on a standard RX setup, sorry about the out of focus video :oops: Next thing is getting a servo output on a Micron RX603. Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well.. 8) Phil.P Erm, yup, t...

Seems a bit harsh that. Although if the seller or even the buyer isn't covered for legal reasons or whatever it is, should be addressed I think, why stop a buyer from buying something that another buyer from other countries can buy it, apart from those that you have mentioned...just so harsh again.....

It looks like most of it would print reasonably well in filament. I'd probably use the three-part version of the bonnet to allow the sides to lay flat and minimize support. With a 0.12 or 0.16 layer height most of the detail should come through, possibly even the grille- but I always scrutinize the...
