You're right. The company is 4Kam and the product is MC500 - Wireless Micro Video Train Camera

4Kam - Railcam
Could do with some advice please. I ordered a Railcam in February which never arrived. Got a refund, ordered another in March which hasn’t arrived yet. My problem is that my emails are not being answered and I don’t know what’s happening - any help on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. Th...

The FeckHallBahn Mamod Quarry loco.
The FeckHallBahn Mamod Quarry loco. It’s properly run in now but because of the railways steep hills will always need to be double headed, which does work well but what I really wanted was a live steamer that could trundle around without any input from me. The Quarry is not that loco. I’ve decided t...

My Mamod Quarry - Update
The Taming of Gerhilde - manual control live steam Mamod Quarry Loco https://youtu.be/hqqafH9EMuA It appears that threats can work on steam engines!!! Both train engines are controlled by a Piko key fob. The GE switcher has 4 traction tyres and is fitted with some sort of safety cutout if it stalls,...

Re: Mamod Quarry - The saga continues…
Thank you loads.
I am definitely leaning towards a geared loco although my Billy, Leader and Caradoc are all fine.
It’s had 3 hours of running time on the rails and 40 minutes on blocks. It’s covered just over 1,000 yards actually moving.

Mamod Quarry - The saga continues…
I need to make a decision - this forum is a good place to ask advice. My Mamod Quarry is just about unmanageable as a manual loco on the FeckHallBahn - give it enough regulator to get up the inclines and it does an excellent impression of Mallard on the flat bits with inevitable off roading on the R...

Re: Mamod Quarry loco - hellllp!!
Thanks Chris It’s back with them again now. Steam chest on the left pouring steam out at any psi >20. I suspect there’s a warped or inaccurately machined surface in there somewhere. One piston rod gland came out mid run. The thing that baffles me is that it was fine on blocks but as soon as it was o...

Welcome Wednesday - Take Two (of ???) https://youtu.be/76u9lNIiIEc The fabulous team at Mamod received my broken (by me) brand new quarry loco on Monday repaired it and turned the wheel centres down to give me deeper flanges so that it wouldn’t bounce off on my LGB point frogs, as they did for my Bo...

Mamod Brunel
Hello Group
I’m quite tempted by a Mamod Brunel. Is there anyone with experience of fitting directional RC to one? The FeckHallBahn is ground level and not a loop; I need to be able to stop (and preferably reverse) trains remotely at the far end of the line.
Thanks in advance
Nigel.

Re: LGB rail attachment
Ha! It’s smack in the middle of two flexible track sections and also smack in the middle of a granite slab! I can live with it; it doesn’t cause any problems. Just looks messy. We had literally just had the (tiny) garden extensively remodelled and landscaped to what we’d wanted for 20 years when I w...

Re: LGB rail attachment
It would, but there isn’t room. It’s not a massive problem though, it’s only a headshunt extension and at the end of a baseboard. The track is floating nicely on ballast and I’ll reconfigure the station when I replace the plank it’s sitting on. image.jpg I had to take the main line lot out again thi...

Re: LGB rail attachment
That’s almost exactly what I ended up doing but with M2 self tapping screws for the first bit. I used panel pins for the next bit but without the half moon shape (because I didn’t think of it). Two more places to do still I’ve now sorted out the warp visible in this IMG_5428.jpeg The sleepers here a...

Re: Camera Vehicle
I do that using my Apple watch as a remote control for my phone camera for my track inspections. Absolutely no need for it but it’s fun! Only problem with driving ‘live’ is lag and occasional watch screen freeze. Wouldn’t trust it with live steam

Re: Camera Vehicle
Hi - this looks spot on. What’s the power source; reviews on the product page aren’t particularly helpful!
