Darius, Based on your excellent progress photos, I'm guessing the viaduct is to carry a Tube line (hence the 3rd & 4th rails)? Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darius A cracking design from Darius and I and built by Simon at Kitwood Hill Models https://www.kitwoodhillmodels.com/ who sells them for about £55. Well constructed (idiot proof) and excellent value (btw, no commissions for the designers). Mark 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted April 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2022 I do like the loco testing station. It's quite similar to mine that is in the prosses of being rebuilt to EM gauge. Regards Lez. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted April 15, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2022 Track to lift-out baseboard section over the helix cut. This allowed me to get inside the helix this morning and give the track a good clean. Cheers Darius 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sends a live video stream to an app on your smartphone or tablet which you can record. I adapted an old Dapol wagon chassis to hold the camera. Cheers Darius I know this is going back a while but I am looking to buy a mini camera for a drivers eye view of my railway and yours looks to perform well. I cant see which camera you have as since the RMWeb crash many photos have disappeared, is there any chance you could let me know the exact model you have.

delticman Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, I will have a search for this camera, I thought the captured image was quite stable for a mini cam. I have just bought a SQ11 and it just switches itself off immediately, very disappointing, obviously a duff one. Regards, Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
