Re: Servo Controlled Points

However you drive the servos, you will need power, as well as control..

Tenmille do a point-rodding system..

In the real-world, coubter-weights are used, along with wire-cable for long runs.


All food for thought?

Somehow, I can't see there will be a need for something similar on the Peckforton Light Railway ;)

If you needed a card with the connectors removed, but felt it beyond your capabilities, then I would be prepared to remove them for you..

Re: IP Engineering Rail Bus

Can I ask why Canopy Adhesive for overlays?

Is it because the items are both painted?

Re: IP Engineering Rail Bus

As has been said, you can swap the motor for a higher voltage model. I guess it probably comes with a 2 x AA battery holder? So you should be able to get a pair of 14500 Li-ion cells in the space that would have taken. You may be able to squirrel - away a third cell, under the chassis somewhere? Phi...

You don't mean that 'terrible' one? - According to certain members of an area group?

Re: Loco kit

After a conversation with Steve... i have bought a kit.

Now,
Don't get too excited! - I have bought many, many kits.. Mostly, I open them, check the contents, then pack them away again. :(

I just need more tu-its.. Round, rather than the inferior hexagonal ones! :dontknow:

Re: Loco kit

Hi Steve,
Are the panels all printed?
If so, resin or deposition?
What motor have you used / supply? - voltage?

Thanks,

Re: List of Suppliers

Hiya!
As I read this.. There should be a list (probably needing work?) which I would assume to be in the 'bottom' section of the index.

I don't see anything there? - Is it me, or are you working away in the background?

Thanks,

Another folk enthusiast here, who often attends the Rochester Sweeps Festival. There seems to be a close harmony between rail enthusiasts, real ale drinking, morris dancers and canal boaters. OK... Who has a video of ; Real Ale drinking Morris Men, dancing on a Narrow Boat roof? :thumbleft: :lol:
