I didn’t think to do a before and after!! Next time, if there is one…

Thank you, very interesting (and neat). I like the idea of remote control

Hi
How do you power the servos?

Thanks all These replies didn’t appear in my email for some reason (it might have been because I was banging my head on the keyboard during 2 days of Musicians’ Union meetings). I don’t have 3D printing facilities but that solution looks fabulous. I’ve actually sorted it out now. 1) Build up of gunk...

It was too good a blooper to not share!

Evening all The FeckHallBahn started as sn LGB Stainz starter set and has evolved in many ways. One of these is that the 16mm world seduced me. Which leads me to the point (sorry). All my points are LGB R1 and that can’t be changed. Is there any way I can modify the frogs so that my fine scale stock...

Thanks Greg
Iron powder liberally sprinkled onto tacky paint and then left outside. And lighter induced distortion - hence the hole in one of the skips. The loco was slightly more subtle; some iron powder but more paint; Vallejo streaking grime and rust

Jack Hackett on the front with motorised skip Tipping Tim on the back bring the rubbish skips up from Tiefeshorn. Tim was carrying a load of fertiliser for Albrecht’s garden so went back down the branch aft...

Thank you

Thanks for your help all The furthest point is 4’ away from where I want to site my ground frame, the closest is 18”. I’m probably going to go with Tenmille and do them one at a time as the DPDT toggles fail. Your points (pun unintended) about general grot and maintenance all noted but I like the id...

Thank you. I’ll try Tenmille, thanks for that signposting. I’ve tried wire in tube but couldn’t get enough push - pull was fine.
Cheers

Afternoon All I’m thinking of operating my station points (there are 4) using levers and rods in place of the current electrical operation. The motors are the LGB ones & give no problems but I seem to be replacing the supposedly waterproof toggle switches about twice a year. I’m using the LGB motors...
