G&DR
This is the first video of the newly commissioned Greumach & Devlin Railway. I'm playing around with Adobe Premier for a major Uni project so I thought I'd do some preliminary shooting and editing.

An inertia wagon would be really good on this line. I have 4 of different types and I was about to list one for sale, sadly, all mine are 32mm gauge so won't be of any help.tom_tom_go:122948 wrote:An inertia wagon would help slow all that down and then have the loco gently puff around the oval in the sunshine...
There is a thread on here about building them with some great advice so you could have a go... one of mine is built into a coal wagon:

Thanks chaps - I have heard a tale of loco based slo-mo's inc the possibility of one designed for the Lady Anne - but from what I've heard it's based in Australia and I was planning on a whistle first before anything on my loco. If I had realised about them earlier I would have gotten myself a Katie and built a makeshift tender with one installed.
I might still have a pop at all like.

Where did I put that uncoupler?
A slomo makes all the diffrence.
Here's a video of my Lady Anne with one fitted:

Ahhhhh so you have the attractively slow Lady Anne.
Just for future reference where did your slomo come from and what was the coatings?

I get them from SSP in Australia. They cost about £200 but vary with the exchange rate (not good at present) You might also get hit for import duty of around £50 but not consistent. Personally I would not run a loco without one and for a loco costing at £1500, its a price worth payingSylvian Tennant:123058 wrote:Ahhhhh so you have the attractively slow Lady Anne.

I've just fitted a Slomo to a Roundhouse Jack chassis, and here is a video of it running on air...

I personally still take the point of view that I prefer the inertia device in a separate wagon. But there are pros and cons. You can however, build one very inexpensively, to play with while you save up for a real Slomo. I personally don't like hoe it's visible between the frames on four-wheeled engines, but on the Lady Anne it's back where the tanks would block your view of it for the most part.
Check out the lengthy thread on the subject of a cheap wagon-based device in "Rolling Stock" ... There are a few videos, I posted one of my "Billy" trundling around an oval in my basement, I think you'll agree it works quite well in a wagon. Tom's is even more impressive with his radio controlled engine.

The benefits of having one is well worth the cheap price of a Zee Car!

Re: G&DR
I don't seem to be able to get the link to open and a search hasn't turned it up (or I'm not looking for the right thing). I have watched the youtube link, found ZeCar on Amazon and keen to have a go - but not sure where to start. Any advice would be appreciated.

This is an old thread copied over from when the forum was hosted by myfreeforum.org so links may be broken.
Can you let me know what you are trying to view so I can fix the original post(s).

Re:
Hi
I was trying to reach this thread - but I'm actually more interested in how you went about getting the Zee Car into a wagon. The whole concept of an inertia wagon is new to me. I'm aware of the SloMo product much much more interested in building a wagon based one. I'm happy to kick this off as a new thread if necessary.

Re: G&DR
This thread covers many builds:
https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic ... t=momentum
I have moved on to the SSP Slomo and it's far superior product without the need to have a dedicated wagon, you can light engine at a realistic speed as well.
