Your work has definitely been worth it, are you controlling both points and couplers?

It is something that intrests me greatly, but i will need to do alot of learning

Are the boards easy to program? I am fairly computer literate. I am wanting to use servos as point motors. And would use the cheap controller to do it? Would this work?

Sorry To Hi-jack, I love the line and it always a good read. I love the element of hands free on this layout, you hav edone really well. LOve the little details to


Rik you mentioned this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400752673830, am i right in thinking it controls servos?

now that looks great. Thank you. It will be really use full. I have a couple of out of reach points. Not all i have to do work out rodding.

I doubt mine will look as good as yours , but i shall try

i really love all this signalling equipment, cant wait to see it in place. I want to build a working lever frame for my points. Do you a form a technical drawing? If so do you mind sharing? No worries if not.

But again inspiring and great

Joe. My Janet/Hunslet beast is controlled int he same way as in Riks video. Works great

May also say great customer service lately Rik with the post man issue.

Now that summer is nearly here and i am doing more again. I have fired up something i made a long time ago to keep notes of what im doing for others. Its great as you can save drafts aswell, and publish when ready. It is great for those with to many projects on the go at once.... http://amberwoodwor...

looks simply brilliant, stunning job

What height did you order Rik?

Just done it myself, works great

She looks amazing, so glad you saved it. I see what you mean about the original parts. when i sold it i honestly thought it would be broen down for parts. Cracking job

I really do love your point work, Fantastic

I now really want to see the rail gun

Looks great btw, also took your advice for the engine shed roof, also, looks great, Thankyou

i am thinking of concreting my slates in place, this should eliminate and glue problems. I glue everything with this or window sealant I am still planning me elevated quarry section. I already know if will incorporate a working single lane incline and probably a bridge. Got a few years to do it. Cou...

Just been looking through . those slate walls settled in great, is the wood behind holding up ok?

Overall Looks cracking, cheers for the advice on the slate, will be stealing that idea very soon lol

Hi Rik,

If i was to order a wired Rx65, would you be able to reprogram it do the shuttle mode for me, and perhaps supply a suitable reed switch?

im build mine from the preferred rail (tenmille as it is what i had) copper clad strip(from marcway) and a soldering iron, can do what you need then, i would suggest a lot of test running on home design points

Bournemouth? That's only 2 ish hours away... But there are plenty of places between here and there... Brambleton is worth a visit and will probably be the place it gets its first good long proper run. I've got to tidy up the line a bit this year as it has no ballast at the moment thanks to the rain...

I know it had a few problems. When it was sold by me it was sold for the price of the roundhouse parts. Near enough. I have to say love your line to. Doesnt over throw the garden. Shame your not closer. Would love to see it and the loco

Oh bravo. I am so happy someone saved her. I though she was destined for parts when I sold here. Well done. You have made me very happy ☺. I hope she serves you well ☺. Did it require a new boiler?
