AMJ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I suppose that there are a few different schools of thought about fitting a crane with motors for all of the possible animations. Traverse Jib up/down Rotate jib Hoist hook Technically unless you had a decoder that could cope with 4 reversing motors I presume that most would require 4 decoders. A quick dirty thought might be a low powered relay from a different function on a decoder to direct the motor output to the relevant motor. Tempted to experiment at some time with one of these https://sarissa-precision.com/products/steamcrane-rollingstock?fbclid=IwAR1BLvBAe1sTxwbu1PMBFGnKesFqF_KQIQIIdiNLjLbpDL_ZxM5F3BKRRSo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The easiest way is using radio control, as you just have a joystick to manipulate, rather than buttons etc.... The Deltang receiver is smaĺler than most decoders. Here is my 0-14 example 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
