Its actually very easy to do to a standard loco, it just sounds a lot. As long as you have the parts, its a diddle and you will soon find out if anything is missing.

I would say, just have a go and pick up the bits as you go.

Any problems, just shout them on here and someone will help

The problem with plane radio gear is it is just that, designed for a plane.s ;) Rik's gear, and Deltang gear is designed for RC trains. The downside to using a stick is the following: 1) There is much more chance of the stick getting knocked and causing it to go to fast and derail 2) A stick does no...

As always Rik, fantastic

Absolutely RC-Trains by Ge-Rik on here. Great experience with Rik and Deltang stuff, couldn't ask for more on either count

Very pleased with it, as yet its unsteamed, hoping to fit RC to it at some point, just have to work out how to make the linkage work as it looks like the servo holes are already in place along with a switch mount in the cab. It will be interesting to see a proper RC'd one when they come out in a few...

A few more, only taken with a phone so please forgive all the colour differences. I am also aware the station is not fully painted etc as yet :) http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/stevesuzi/IMAG0952.jpg http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/stevesuzi/IMAG0953.jpg http://i617.photobucket.com...

Well today my Isle of Man Mannin turned up, here it is, just unboxed :) http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/stevesuzi/IMAG0944.jpg http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/stevesuzi/IMAG0946.jpg http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/stevesuzi/IMAG0947.jpg http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/t...

Gauge 1 but I am sure could be modified http://www.tenmille.com/Trackside.html

Or if you want them made for you and you have a bit of spare cash to spend?

Does anyone know if this is proposed to have reversing gear or be a slip eccentric? If its a slip at £600 then its as much as a Roundhouse or Accucraft as a Bertie which is slip is £609 and a Ragleth which is full reverser gear and easily made full 2 channel RC is only £695. The price could well be ...

A bit more work has been done, still around 16 inner posts to go in yet, but have to work out where they need to go yet, lol

Brilliant video, well done Rik

Did some work today to get the base prepared, and got the posts painted. Lots of hard work to go. Just ignore the old fence panel thats waiting to go in the bin, lol

Thank you for everyones input
