It all depends how the battery's are connected to the receiver, really you need and isolating switch between them and it if the switch is after the receiver or even on it the receiver could still be live and a current could still be flowing, if you check this and let me know i can help further. Hope...

Lovely Loco! Saw pictures of it on the stand at Peterborough and decided when i get mine id like to have it done out like that, would you mind telling me how much it cost to have done ? And is there any lining on the back ?

Any normal RC kit will do, all you need is a receiver, transmitter (these need to be a pair), An electronic speed controller (ESC, check this has reverse as not all ones designed for cars do) and a battery (lipos are the best due to there small size), Then its a simple plug and play job all that'll ...

Very nice loco, going to be a while before I can afford something like that :(. Answering your question yes it should be fine as all RX packs are around the save voltage and ampage and the charger should be able to work out any differences, you need to be careful with the cheap chargers though some ...

Yeah as she was canabilised to fix the other two you could probably find numerous bits on them, plus a good scour round the shed where she was left might prove fruitful.....

Better still Triple headed, with all the successful replicas that have come out of Boston Lodge recently and of course Tornado we could build 30586 again !

All the advice I can offer is James May did a very good piece on casting Aluminum in one of the episodes of his man lab, he used only basic equipment and it was all very well explained, you could try catching up with this on iplayer if your not already sorted alternatively there's a good guy on yout...

This was my orignal point but what i failed to take into account as she is not NRM owned is she ?

Ahhh yes, I missed that but surely there something they have that was closer than Cornwall ?

This loco is a beauty, I do some volunteer work at the Bodmin and Wenford railway where she's based it's absolutely full of character and looks lovely on the demonstration clay trains that get run! Didn't even notice she was gone though, and for that matter she may be back by now......Any idea why s...

I did purchase it through paypal though not with account in my namethat could be a problem .....

Purchased a membership online, not sure what happens next i take it i get a form to fill in ?

I like the Etroniks pulse http://www.modelsport.co.uk/etronix-pul ... ucts/38404

10 model memory, screen and relatively cheap for both the unit and extra Rx's. Another lovely feature is the throttle hold switch that locks the throttle for smooth running.

Looks good, I too have purchased a copy of the manual and although the actual design for the buildings seems very good i didn't like the just wood with burnt lines finish he left on everything.

I much prefer the finish you have achieved with this building.

The best thing to use is Peco's SM32 track in my opinion goes down well I've had no problems with mine, best place for that is Trackshak. It comes in at around 80 quid per 12 yards and £35 for a point. If that's too much of a stretch on your budget O gauge peoco track will work fine for just Mamod s...

I brought one of these a while ago, its fitted with RC and runs really nicely the only problem I've had with it is that the motor wants 12v which is difficult to fit inside such a small loco, so she's a slow runner!

Which model please? I've just looked, and there are LOTS......................

Here is the one I use, there are cheaper ones but they remember less models and have less options.

My etronik pulse has 10 model memory and will run all my RC Locos steam and BE

I use a Extronik Pulse 2.4ghz stick controller which is very nice, with a useful throttle hold switch that keeps the servo/ESC going at a set percentage, very nice for smooth running. Both my R/C battery electric loco's run off 2 cell Lipo's and I've had no trouble as of yet, not only are they small...
