Yep, I have one of their Railbus's and its brilliant :) I've made a few modifications to it like adding actual lights rather than stickers, It's not finished yet but here is a video of it: <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtu...

At least when it was loaded on a wagon it did a full circuit without disaster!

Theres a quick clip of it in my latest video

Shame you still haven't got the rapier running, I couldn't believe how small it was

Nice video, the loco looks great, something different from an everyday Ragleth, and it does pull a decent rake too!

That runs well, I would suggest that the driver could do with a rear view when you come to Detailing it. Ask and you shall receive! The windows are now cut, just need a bit of rubbing down now :) http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ste234/IMAG0113.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/s...

Thanks for the comments guys, it does run well, better than I had expected :) Bryan, I will be adding rear windows, I'm just trying to devise a way of keeping them in line with the front ones! I'm looking for a way to keep the body on the baseplate, I'm thinking some magnetic strips strategically pl...

Ran the loco today using the a 40mhz system, it ran perfectly fine, the cruise control on the speed controller is a big help, just turn the transmitter off, and the loco carries on, saves holding the stick all the time :) It's so easy to set up aswell, just push the little button on the ESC within 2...

The loco had it's first run under radio control today, unfortunatley it wasn't the 2.4ghz set I've ordered, this hasn't arrived yet, so I used a 40mhz set instead, and to be honest, I've been pretty impressed with it's running :D The traction has improved because of the weight of the battery and rad...

Lovely repaint you have done there Keith, is the body plastic or brass, the finish looks great, if I can make my loco half as impressive as that I will be happy!
Cheers,

Ah, now that has given me just over 5ft 7, so I wasn't far off

I've just had a thought, I'm not sure if I've got the scale height of the cab right, I said 5ft 6, but I'm not sure if I've worked it out right, so it would be 16 divided by 9.2 gives 1.7, now i presume this is metres so this works out (according to my friend Google) at roughly 5ft 6, is this correc...

Well I've just ordered a Planet T5 radio system from Howes, but it won't be with me till next week due to a problem with their order from the supplier, but I will keep you informed on how I get on with the ESC

Thanks for the replies everyone, the excuse of a low loading gauge is a good idea! Hey Ste, I maybe putting two & two together here but was it you who asked me for Jessie measurements?? Someone did but I deleted a load of my PM's to clear space. If it was you sorry... If it wasnt who was it. Hi,...

Hi guys, I was looking at my loco cab which I have been scratchbuilding, and I have sort of done it without thinking about scale etc, just what looks right  :lol: However, the height of my cab is about 9.2/3 centimetres,which is about 5'6" I think, so I was wondering if this is probably a bit t...

After a brief trip to meet Brian (AKA MDLR) to collect some track, a few lengths were laid in the garden, some trucks rolled down it a few times and it was then put away :lol: However a few pieces had some of the sleepers replaced, I haven't got any photos of these but they look almost new. Anyway, ...

Well, I went to Shildon to pick up some track, coincidence huh?

Oooh a Narrow Gauge Pendo!
Will it take it's juice from the wires?

And now the glue has dried, well, to a certain extent anyway... The roof has been attatched, a hole cut in the bonnet for the front grill/vent thingy and the front and rear of the cab added. It's starting to look like a loco now :D http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ste234/IMAG0087.jpg http://...

Work on the body has been carried out today, using some plasticard I had lying around. It's not really based on anything in particular, just what my imagination came up with :D There is some wobbly lines, but these are being tidied up a bit. http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ste234/IMAG0083.j...
