railwayrod Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi Andy. Liked the video on the sig na trak system and if I had known about it earlier I would have given it consideration for Ramchester. It certainly liiks easy to use and a lot easier to understand than my current ECoS system. Your Panier looks really great too - wrong region for me but great.

bgman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) It's a lovely RTR loco Andy, I have the early 57xx version. Just a small word of warning, the filler cap handles are a little on the flimsy side ( as I found out ) but t a quick call to Mr K and he didn't hesitate to send me a couple more replacements within a few days. Excellent customer service. Will you be posting a short vid when you've fitted the sound ? I'd certainly be very interested to hear it. Oh! One more thing,which you may have found is that the rear sand box caps are very tight on the rear steps when removing the body. A really nice loco overall. Grahame p.s. Sorry, meant to start by saying that I hope you are feeling much better now, all the very best Grahame Edited March 2, 2018 by bgman 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I really like that Pannier! Looks very smart and I bet sounds good now too. Thanks Scott, she is a beauty and I'll do a Sound Video after the weekend but if you want to see her in action on our Clubs Layout a while ago, alas pre Sound fitted, then here is the Video of that. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Thanks Rod, there will be some pics of the Jinty up shortly, and new Video up in a few days of the Jinty. But in the meantime here are two Videos of the Jinty, firstly Shunting on PS and the running on our Clubs Dornoch Branch. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, meant to start by saying that I hope you are feeling much better now, all the very best Grahame Hi Grahame, Thanks, I'm getting a little stronger by the day, and trying NOT to over do things. I will do a Video of the Pannier on PS in a few days, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Tomorrow I will do a Shunting session with the Pannier and take some pics as well as the Video. Yes I know about the Sandbox pipes, I had been re warned about them when I first got it. It's so nice to have a Loco that comes apart and then goes back together easily without breaking bits off. I do agree that the two Chris's do give an excellent service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2018 Mr P Are you sure you are up to being out on TOPS in this weather? Your heart rate increases in the cold just trying to keep the vital organs warm, at the same time the extremities shut down. Both these actions make your heart work harder.

Thanks for the warning Clive, I put the heater on about half hour before I went out there, and then after half an hour out there I was getting to hot, with my Woolly jumper, Fleece, and Body Warmer. I will be careful though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Slaters version Paul R Thanks Paul, I have the Express one in Blue as well, and for the Shunting Puzzle it's another nice addition to the fleet.

Most of us never do, my Son has been moaning at me since Jan about what to do and how to recover and keep well.

Hi David, Sorry to hear about your problems with the Cellulitus and Sepsis, I do hope your making a good recovery and doing as your told. I didn't do as I was told to start with, as there was no scar on my chest because it was done through my wrist I thought I was fine. Little did I realise how much work had gone on inside, so now I'm resting more. Clive M ( Ex Nurse) said I should stay out of the cold, and TBH that session on PS last week really knocked me in the evening, I felt I'd stayed out in the Shed for to long, so now I'm waiting until this cold spell has gone before venturing outside again. Thanks for your kind words of support, and about the thread, I hope it will resume in the not to distant future. Keep well mate. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Low and behold, it came to pass that I found my Mojo today, it was in the cupboard with the vacuum cleaner, and I don't go in there much. Anyway I had a couple of hours in TOPS. I needed to try out the Sig Natrack Controller and A Video is being down loaded, and should be ready in an hour or three, in the meantime, here are some pics. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Rosie ( Cider with ) The Book I was given when I left Hospital said Don't do hoovering Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. There will be no Cider Siding on PS, and if I do get to build a larger O Gauge Layout in a U Shape around the Shed, the BLT will hopefully have a Dairy for the tanks. and maybe a Looading Dock for some Cider etc. I saw a man with a big AXE looking at KM this afternoon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
