Stray

Should be quite easy, this is all I can find.

Yes, I know, I've just copied and pasted this verbatim, from another source.

Possibly The Northern Echo. Lack of free newspapers mean I have to beg or rummage in people's blue bins to get enough to light the fire, can't afford to use them for modelling nowadays.

It's so rare he's got 2 for sale.

Getting ready for the summer.

Excellent work as usual, I'm retired and I still don't know where you get the time to put in all that detail.

Looking very good, they're serving Black sheep beer, not the animals but you never know out on the moors, at the Birch Hall Inn now a days, and it's not a bad pint either.

Well, so much for my guesstimates. I timed the Class 37 (which is actually a Vitrains model) and it ran for 48 minutes pulling 2 coaches. It also powers up the track, so that I could see that it was running at between 9v and 9.5v. The starting voltage of the 6oomah battery was 4.1v and the battery cut out at 3.5v. I'll definitely be using double pole switches if I rewire anymore decent quality locos like this. I've got several "cheap " ringfield motor Hornby and Lima locos that have 6v cd motors fitted and they usually last a session on a full charge. Ps. One good thing about the loco powering the track. https://youtu.be/0vdc69yePk0?feature=shared

Yes, the black tubing is shrink wrap. The booster is set to 10v, the 1s, 600mah lipo gives about half an hour running at a decent speed.

Hi, I was curious about this to, I have a Heljan class 37 that has a Deltang Rx60 wired directly to the loco's positive and negative. The battery is wired to the centre pin of a 3 pin slider switch, one way off/ battery charging, the other, on. Anyway this afternoon I put it on unpowered track and ran it for several minutes on BPRC. I then switched it to off/charging and powered up the Analogue track. The loco ran fine. After another several minutes I swapped back to BPRC, to check, and all was good. I didn't dare try to run it on RC with the track powered up. If I was going to do this regularly, I think I'd use a double pole switch and use it to isolate the Receiver from the motor when running on analogue. Hope this helps.

Hi, I've been following your thread, on and off for over a decade, with envy at your modelling skills, but enough of the flattery. I was in Goathland at the weekend, it's only a 40 minute drive, and took some photos. When I saw your horse and dray, I thought if it's delivering to Goathland it might need a few barrels from the Wensleydale Brewery. They were beside the "new" learning coach parked next to the goods shed. After the station, we had a walk to Beck hole to TMC, and wonder of wonders the Birch hall Inn was open, so we had to stop for a pint and a ham sandwich.
