Garden Railway Forum

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?

although mine are in constant use atm so i can not lend them, i would say they are worth the money. especially in comparison to the ready made options. Ordered mine from Germany,really nice guy

YAY

I want to hug you.

So many things to make!!!!

Just watched this, Thanks Rik.

I am now very tempted to turn on shuttle mode, any reed switches / magnets you would suggest

i use spray inks from model shops and a coat of mat lacquer for basic stuff

Hope this helps a little

I thought the frames where wrong, and im really glad you are fixing. Apologies for the terrible paint, never buy cheap paint. Again really happy it has a good home

Yep that's it. Could never get it to run. Ambitous first build. So sold on os project. Hope you save it.The boiler does steam. Or did a year ago. Heavy due to thick outer tube. Please keep me up to date. Be lovely to see it run

would you mind sending pics, i think it may have been my first ever build, not sure though

The Isibutu, wouldnt of had a bad chassis, okish body, very basic boiler, and mostly roundhouse parts

love the plan and looking great, keep up the good work and keep the photos coming

All sorted, David is great. My wiring not so much

I love the the system. When the weather is nice and i clear the tracks. Ill try and do a video.

When driving my car or, i sue them at night only. When i ride my motorcycle i keep them on side light in the day. That said, i probably don't have to, because if you can not hear my bike, you have a problem. Which raise a point, i see many people with both headphones on whilst driving nowa days, sur...

Has to be Red, i have not yet found a use for white, certainly not drinkable. Will try and use as paint thinners

I so want one of those :0

Dave you are famed for your steam engine building . Building rolling stock can be a chore, i save it for winter when i am forced indoors by the cold weather A pile of wagon parts and a bad film (and wine)
