  1. It needs a big heavy trailer to make it "chuff" now!
  2. most steam engines run single pinned on the road anyway so you should be fine until you do heavy haulage or steep grades
  3. To clarify by rock I meant mimicking the slack of chains as the wheels hit obstacles not the pivoting beam. Sounds good! So a road roller next?
  4. Looking good! I like the steering mechanism maybe add a little slack in the system so the axle rocks as it goes over bumps like in the first video for realistic movement? I guess chain steering would have been a nightmare to package?
  5. Looking good Giles, you going to use a steering servo to turn the bar that controls the steering chains to mimic the full scale ones? You may be able to get square profile O rings like the ones used for pneumatic cylinders to use as scale vulcanised tyres ?
  6. Yes they are brilliant fun! It used to be my job to lift the back end around to get it square to the kerb when dad parked!
  7. Nice work as usual Giles. As well as being a huge Scammell enthusiast I also have an interest in vehicles designed by Laurie Bond (blame my dads collection) which leads to me wondering where you got the Berkeley T60 model from?
  8. Loving that little Landy! Is there a build thread for it?
  9. Hi Giles, i only discovered the pre-wired ones after buying mine, going to have to do it the hard way. Tim was right Dave was VERY helpful with almost instant reply, got an action plan in place now, just need to measure up for a tiny LiPo
  10. Thanks Tim, I have the RX45-5 and one that confuses me is the two 3-6v inputs?
  11. thanks GIles, I think i remember you wanting to try 260:1 combined motor, gearbox and axle, did you get round to trying that? Also did you try the 1.7gm 'worlds tiniest servo' i think you also found? I used to be into model railways and remote control models but these days i mainly work in 1:1 however im finishing my degree so im looking into something that i can tinker with on the kitchen table at Uni Im looking at a Scammell Highwayman to make as RC 00 Gauge so should be fun
