Look at jperkindistribution for cheap planet transmitters, as mentioned, quality equipment

Me too! Bet it looks nice though from other comments

Bog standard IP kits Joe, built exactly as per but with toilet paper pasted on the roof to represent felt. They match the slightly larger ACCUCRAFT loading gauge so look well behind the Lawley!

Not a great deal of planning or engineering Andrew, it pretty much is just 'happening' as I go but all seems OK so far. Bit more track gone in this morning to form the outer platform road and the next job will be to tackle the footpath crossing so I can access the worksite without clambering about! ...

At £600 its not much under a Ragleth! I remember selling the original Mamod Train sets at Beatties for £69.99! Happy days!

....or maybe with a train emerging.....

Thanks Peter, that lawn was actually on a very steep slope before the Bank Holiday! See photo below. I levelled it behind a new wall, using bricks from around the garden, and laid the turf AFTER  getting the railway trackbed in! The track will then loop round on a filcris structure over the lawn in ...

Shhhh! A little known secret project is taking place in a quiet little corner of Yorkshire, details to follow, but for now, progress over the last few days...... 8) ./myff/1987681/SAM_0999.JPG ./myff/1987682/SAM_1004%7E2.JPG ./myff/1987683/IMG_20160607_141413.jpg ./myff/1987684/IMG_20160605_211949.j...

Brilliant yet again. I watch your videos often and it always makes me want to shrink and go on a visit!

I've watched the whole series of Peckforton clips so many times now, absolutely brilliant! There's something new to see every time.

I've just discovered I've been renewed twice and charged twice!! Hmmm.... Do hope they sort themselves out, it doesn't exactly encourage you!

My other ACCUCRAFT, this time a Lawley DELILAH. Again, full 3 channel R/C, new coat of blue, and lining. It's starting to look like Doncaster works!.... She also runs like clockwork, but for longer! Much longer!

./myff/1957606/SAM_0093%7E2.JPG My Ragleth loco, NOBBY. Full 3 channel control of regulator, reverser and whistle, with all servos out of sight! R/C, paint job and lining very abley provided by Tony Willmore, NOBBY steams freely, runs like a well oiled sewing machine and is a very powerful loco. I'...

Roywoodmodels do them, though they're hard to find on the site! Direct replacement fit, 32 or 45mm gauge, I paid £6 per tipper, for 32mm gauge 2 axles.

It's a very powerful loco for its size, and very controllable down to a slow crawl. The chimney is the speed controller as supplied, turning it to effect movement, with a switch in the cab for direction. If you look closely at the photo of mine, you can see a grub screw at the base of the chimney wh...

Here's mine, MYFANWY, though sold on a while ago when I switched back to OO gauge, temporarily! It was a very powerful little loco, which could just trundle round at a steady pace with a relatively heavy train of wooden stock, certainly far more than she is posed with here. A loco I would definately...

An upgraded Dylan!!!

Maybe he's just clearing out the last stock

Now that IS useful, especially the stencil. One with the alphabet in upper case lettering and numbers would be very well received too I'm sure!

Got my copy today too, and wearing it out currently!
