Glad you found what you are looking for Jack.

SLRmidge I like the weathering on your running gear, is it just dry-brushed using Humbrol paints?

Sorry MuzTrem you are right it does not provide details! Undo the screw that secures the rod to your regulator servo and move the servo down so the rod comes out of the hole in the R/C regulator arm. You can now undo the grub screw holding the arm and slide if off. The below is from the RH R/C fitti...

The RH manual that came with the loco will tell you how to set this up.

If you don't have this go to the RH website and download it

My RH SL is currently being modded so not sure if my pics would help, however, her measurements are:

length 315mm, width 125mm, height 160mm

A fine lady

If you still needs pictures contact me.

I can't wait to be retired (or win the lottery, roll on Friday!)

Boo hoo I don't have a Bertie to show

I'm sure the engineer who helped James May on his Toy stories series could be employed to sort out track laying/cleaning

Are the breeze blocks cemented in or just dug into the earth?

I was wondering whether to use these on my line.

Good point

Innocent question I was just talking about it with my partner yesterday and we thought it might be nice to have fish in the garden.

I use rain water for my steam loco's and wondered if keeping fish in the water butt would help with cleaning it?

It will also be fun for the kids

Does anyoen else do this and is it fair on the fish?

Ninge, the buffers are made using M2 stainless steel nuts/bolts so if you need help let me know.

Glad you like the progress so far Tom. I am looking forward to hosting steam-up's one day!

Good progress has been made over the last month as I am finally now onto the curve which will lead off to the main line: /myff/tom_tom_go/SANY0616.jpg /myff/tom_tom_go/SANY0613.jpg /myff/tom_tom_go/SANY0621.jpg I had to add an extra batton along the fence to support the track shelf and where the app...

Thanks to everyone for their advice. The return cranks seem to be in the right place although for the future how do you remove the roll pins that hold them in place? Playing with the reserver trim also has helped including adjusting the regulator arm with the servo. I gave her a good clean over the ...

I suspect the return crank may have slipped.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, however, do you mean I should be checking the position of the return crank according to the RH Lady Anne chassis kit manual on page 8?



Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick responses chaps. I did not get round to checking the tightness/rubbing of the motion today in any detail although there is nothing obvious I can see. I am a bit reluctant to start taking it all apart as I am concerned I will never get it back together correctly as good as it cam...

A plea for help please... I am awaiting a response from RH on this, however, I wonder if anyone on here has had a similar problem? The running gear on my SL seems to get stuck in a certain position when moving forward and this has become more frequent recently. I can open the regulator fully and ste...
