The week at RJR
Great pics every one, Liked the steam shots Steve B.
Im now hooked on DCC and am looking at Sound next. During the week I have been converting one of my older locos into a track cleaner for the outdoor layout, I always give the track a once over with a track rubber before a running session. I have been looking at automatic cleaning and have a pad mounted under the fuel tank of this loco I am experimenting with. I also have found the squirrels have left debris on the track on occassions, not to mention spider webs between the trees, so here is my solution. As the original body has had two reworks ( Extra width to suit my On30 Days, then return to shape and repaint in Virgin colours ) it was beyond re-use, A new donor was required
The Plymouth body needed a bit of a "cut and shut" job
A bit of plasticard and grills added
The dozer blade is bogie mounted to keep it central to the track.
The red warning lights are DCC controlled from the neat flash Cv setting
This weekend we went to the lake district for our 15 year wedding anniversary and we rode the tourist train.
Here is a video of the locos in action, HERE
