Garden Railway Forum

Up for sale is my Accucraft Baguley Drewry for £325. It is the MK2 version with full metal chassis and hence is very heavy and has immense pulling power, great for recovering a dead live steam loco. Regaugable between 32mm and 45mm. Great condition, runs perfectly, fitted with 4 x Li-Ion batteries g...

Hi Steve I think all the info you need is here https://www.16mm.org.uk/2024/03/14/member-to-member-stand-update/ Link to the form and an email link Rik PS Closing date is tomorrow ( 22nd) That's just what I was looking for and couldn't find it, thank you Rik. I think a bit late for this year so may...

Does anyone know how the member to meber sales work at the national 16mm show?

Do you have to book them in?
Is there a limit?
Does the show take anything from the sale?

Anything else I need to know?

Looks brillaint Peter, another spot on finish

That's really good, sign writing has always been a skill I have envied, simply because it's something that I have tried and just can not do, well done

Just so people know, the guidelines for selling on the forum have been updated to include, photos, price and a rough location. This is the information people need to make an informed decision.

Personally I wouldn't go to Tony as I have had some unpleasent and very offensive dealings with him. Just my personal experience, but loads of other really helpful friendly people out there.

I have this sort of thing, depends on the dimensions you need?

Could you just draw something up so I know what sort of thing you are looking for, I may, or may not have something already or that can be adapted / modified.

I have managed to actually run a train today! Link to the Video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t77i5sx37e00rtaipwtg6/first-goods-service-this-year-HD-1080p.mov?rlkey=i4eabu0fdr4xcj96cehurbkm3&dl=0 The locomotive is the one I have just fitted the "Cheapo Chinese Sound Card" to. I have...

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, It's OK Rod, I don't think anyone thought you was "having a go" at anyone. Electrics can be baffling that is for sure, electronics even more so, even for me. I was ...

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 resi...

Not much on this for a while, mojo isn't all that high at the moment. I have not rivited it, added detail, nor weathered it, not even added buffers, but it is as it is and makes a nice base for a loco. Other than adding buffers, that's probably as far as I will go on this for now. Sorry it isn't to ...

PS. It's probably advisable to protect the link from P3 to the soundcard with a 1k resistor, or maybe even a 4.7k resistor if you're powering the soundcard with 7.4v Rik PS - Now corrected the label for the switch and added the 1k resistor to the wiring diagram (see above) I am no electrician nor t...

That's pretty much the wiring I used for mine, but without the buck convertor, the sound card I bought can handle 2 x li-ion batteries (8.4v) with no issue so just run them direct from the power input of the RX.

Just to update on this, from my POV. I've been in discussions with Andy because I had to get him to reprogram it before when I couldn't, and thought he might have some insight on what I've been doing wrong. It has been more and more unexpected things and not accepting inputs. Eventually we went rig...

Such a shame

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...

Yet again while looking at a small-scale manufacturer's website, I saw a note saying "at the present time, we can not sell kits to Canada, the U.S.A., or countries in the E.U." What in particular are you looking at buying? There is a chance that someone in the UK might buy whatever it is ...
