Re: Blog, Pictures, and Videos
I have noted the link to a YouTube video, of editing YouTube videos, on. Errrrrrr, ah yes, YouTube... Thanks Rik. Now I need to play with the Smartie-Phone (as with many things, Dad took his video camera apart) and I think the battery has seen better days? It is quite compact, but I think a little (...

Re: A Ruston-ish ....
Excellent!
Thanks Rik...
Let me know when I can order a dozen!
Very impressive.
Oh, to be retired, with all that free time....
Hang on a minute... I am retired! - Except for RC Trains, of course.

Re: Blog, Pictures, and Videos
A video? Video is fine..test is fine.... loco seems a bit poorly! :shock: :lol: :lol: Thanks.. I had the devil of a job finding a video.. It is a 'leaf-blower' for track clearing duties. Hence the reference to needing a loco behind it.. An old SLA battery, a cast-off tender, and a 'bilge-blower' fa...

Re: A Ruston-ish ....
Good chunky metal gears, as well..
The only downside of a bevel-gear final-drive, is it is usually 1:1, so you need to be sure you motor /gearbox gives you the ratio you need.
How noisy, is this arrangement, Rik?

Re: Chassis thickness.
It might be a problem, for 'stiffness' of the chassis, but I would have thought you could add a couple of lengths of angle section, if this proved a problem. Only other thought, is if it has been cut 'wrong', any tab and slot construction, will need more fill, when welding. Overall dimensions, will ...

I have acquired a small quantity of these..

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada
I think this is due to insurance restrictions? I have been refused insurance for RC Trains, because I answered 'yes' to do I sell to either the USA or Canada.. Unlimited liability, means the smaller companies can't / won't be able to get insurance.. I have a broker trying to get me an annual deal, r...

Much to think about..
I am a bit of a luddite, but it looks like YouTube is a 'yes', and I need to have a look at the others..
Just need to find the time to make a start, and organise some content..
