Something for steam?

Apparently you can convert the SSM "V" kit into a VS..... "Boyne": the one that got away....

There's a kit to build her...... *kof*
-
The last thousand that were built had a VW 1272cc engine in them. A four-stroke at last.
-
..and that was 90km/h, not mph. It was good for the ton, but you didn't want to try emergency braking at that speed. Wartburg was way ahead of its time in many respects, with several rally successes, but its main problem - particularly for export markets such as Britain - was that it was a two-stroke.

...which I am not.

Some of the videos were certainly watchable, but other parts were jarring: trains brought from warp speed to a standstill in the kind of braking distance that a supercar would be proud of, whilst the Faller car system, useful as it is, shows its limitations: abrupt stops and starts, and the sight of lorries/HGVs going round corners like sports cars. Instead, why not have a go at DC-Car? A very good advert for the DCC-controlled layouts, I thought. [video=youtube_share;Z77D5kzJCHw]

Not much in the way of signalling, then!

D'you think they'll do the prison?
-
I think you can get etched brass sash windows and that type of thing as well.....
-
Highly interesting.

UPDATE: Mr. McLachlan has replied. He's up to his eyes in Dundalk drawings!
-
I'm not entirely sure that Clare can sustain what has been a fantastic season for them in the hurling. It took years to get to this stage - can only hope all those following will be as dedicated and hungry to win. I'm in the wrong country for Croke :-(
-
Build the track badly, but see if you can fit some form of suspension to your stock to cope with it.
-
...and you can build trackwork which doesn't have to be flat!
-
Given that it resembles a stylised "N", I'd have thought NIR would have made better use of it.
-
It was probably only the paint that was holding it together....
-
As long as Clare won, that's all that matters to me
-
That would have been an expensive exercise. BEMO HOm stock doesn't come cheap; engines are generally over GBP £200 to £250 each, and even the tiny coaches are getting on for about £50 each new. Years ago, I bought a BEMO RhB G4/5, based on the preserved no.108 at Landquart. I felt intense pain handing £320 over the counter. For that reason alone, I have kept it. I will probably arrange for it to be put in my coffin when I die - the model owes me that much!

Part ref. L10 on that page.

Was that the LMS Stanier-type tender that she had on the plinth at Dundalk?

Slightly OT: coreless motors and high-efficiency drivetrains
Horsetan replied to Horsetan's topic in General Chat
Here's another thought: you don't have to make the bevel-and-spur geartrains only for coreless motors, but also offer it as an option for more traditional iron-core motors such as Mashimas, etc. -

2020, I think....
