Gravel train refurbishment

Post by GAP » Mon Sep 05, 2022 7:37 am

Fitted my gravel train with a Viper Loco10 motor controller and test ran it.
This is a "matched train" in that the loco and gravel tubs are permanently connected as the batteries and R/C components are housed inside the gravel tubs.
Blog has description and pictures.

Nice! I really like the mine tubs made from guttering end caps, very clever!

Not my idea, I got it from a NZ magazine that I could access at one time called "Garden Whistle".
