Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Isn't there a strimmer on a wagon shown somewhere on the Forum? I know I have seen one somewhere.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

This one? Pretty sure he's a member here..
Another excellent video as always, Rik. In time, I plan on doing videos of my own, and would be thrilled if they came out as well as yours.

Yes Melbournesparks is a member although he very rarely posts anything, which is a shame. I'm sure we could all learn from him.

Just checked the membership and there is indeed a MelbourneSparks .....
My version of the strimmer car would need to have two vertically mounted blades. Most of my problems come from side hanging foliage .....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Funny you say that, I've been considering something like that myself. Doubt I'll ever get round to building one, though..

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Well Rik, that's another masterpiece of video making. You are a master in more ways than one aren't you. I seem to have missed your 3d printing of those loco's though.
Have you put it on the forum.... Stupid question really...

Terrific. And even better watching it on a large(r) screen.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
I wonder how a 6" or 8" dia model plane propeller would go mounted on the side of a wagon, with a 3V motor??

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
You could design the rail equivalent of this, and then trim top and sides!

A propeller powered connected to a brushless motor powered by a 3.7V Lipo would certainly cut through soft foliage, a double shafted motor with a propeller may even work albeit with a larger power source.
I have employed a contractor to trim some of my plants, he works for nothing but is selective with what he trims. Also known as a possum!!!

Excellent video Rik, just the thing to watch while having a morning cuppa.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks chaps. I'm trying to film the sequel but Sod's Law has intervened. One loco failed (battery problem), so I replaced it with another, took a couple of shots then it too failed with a battery problem. I'm touching wood as I say this, but I very seldom have battery problems ..... I think it must be Bank Holiday Gremlins .....

I've got used to enjoying your videos and your railway in general. I'm looking to move to mainly battery control even on steam outline so that I may sit in a swivel seat or my gazebo and operate trains across my railway. I'm hoping the battery issues you have are resolveable.
Best wishes.
