RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted September 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 16, 2015 Great stuff! The choppers (not the Raleigh version) are superb. Looking forward to seeing the section of track being assembled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2015 Choppers? Saw this petrol version a few weekends ago.... What could possibly go wrong? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted September 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2015 oooooo.... These little beauties turned up this morning from Zam-Zoodled... coupling1.jpg coupling2.jpg coupling3.jpg coupling4.jpg They really capture the looks of the prototype and the quality is exceptional (unlike my ability to photograph them) There's no going back now!

RMweb Premium DLT Posted September 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2015 So much nicer than those 'orrible Kadees, good choice. Think I've seen a video of them operated from an onboard mechanism controlled by a DCC function; have certainly seen something like that for AJs. Something to consider when it comes to building the stock? Yes indeed, that film is Zamzoodled's own research/develoment/demonstration. I think he operates them by onboard memory wire, but they can be made to uncouple via undertrack magnet. I've got some to try out, but converting all my stock is a daunting prospect! Cheers, Dave. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 oooooo.... These little beauties turned up this morning from Zam-Zoodled... coupling1.jpg coupling2.jpg coupling3.jpg coupling4.jpg They really capture the looks of the prototype and the quality is exceptional (unlike my ability to photograph them) I have a couple of packets of these and the fitting jig, but not fitted any to stock yet. They look good and watching the video seem to work well. Apparently they will not couple/uncouple on curves though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Cook Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Fitting jig? Eeek Is that the height gauge which is used to set the height and centre line of the coupling, which is 10mm above the rail head which is the same as the ones I made for the EM AJ couplings but to a different track gauge Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just blowing the froth off a couple in Copenhagen with this view tonight... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Fangfoss a Scandinavian (Norwegian ) layout The gap between the coaches look a bit big, but I could either be wrong or they were spaced out on purpose Lovely layout if a bit eccentric in some of the baseboard methods 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes really, so you can walk through! This was my window. Who said I'm not into the arts? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
