Next Update:
The original author has now uploaded the Morton brake parts for these wagons in another project.
They also fit the tanker and the Lowfit wagon.

Re: 3D Printed Wagons.
Had a good running session today.

The 3D printed Lowfit and tank wagons run well.
TIGER easily copes with the load, even on wet tracks (we had a bit of rain inbetween).

Where to buy wheelsets?
I am planning to build a driving truck that matches my TIGER. The idea is to have a bogie wagon with both bogies looking like RCH chassis and two bodies (a 5 plank and a covered van) on a common frame. This will give the riding quality of a bogie wagon and not spoil the look. Where can I buy spoked ...

Re: 3D Printed Wagons.
Update: As my TIGER (sister loco of the famous LION) will only pull two adults on my steep gradients, there is not much power left. As I do not want to run with the driving truck only I bought one of Doug´s covered wagon kits. On Thingiverse there are two sets of files available for 5" gauge wagons,...

5"gauge Lion (Tiger)
Hi, my Lion is now finished and runs well (original Gab gear). I have named mine Tiger after Lions sister loco. https://up.picr.de/43625455if.jpg Now I am looking for a suitable driving truck. As Lion and Tiger were "luggage engines" I am thinking of covered goods wagons. The plan is to use the firs...

Re: HELP
Hi David,
I have the Rideonrailways / PNP Railways aluminium Rails + Plastic sleepers. These are joined by fishplates with absolutely no gap.
Expansion/contraction causes the traks to move a few mm during summer and winter and this has never caused any problem so far.

Re: 3D Printed Wagons.
I agree with Matt that for some parts 3d printing is an alternative.
My PZ201 armoured railcar has lots of 3d printed (detail) parts but nothing that takes any load.

Re: 3D Printed Wagons.
I would like to see how the coupling hooks are attached and how/if the frame is reinforced.
They look a bit fragile.
There should be a continuous steel link from one coupling hook to the other, otherwise I would not dare to have them right behind the loco in a long freight train...

Re: 17D Wagons.
I hope they do not cancel the 5" gauge bogies.
Took ages to deliver, but great value for the money.

As some may have noticed, there is another wreck in my workshop for an overhaul. This time it is a 5" gauge LION ti the Titfield Thunderbolt plans. It is an unfinished, stripped model. Some parts have been lost, others damages. I already cleaned and painted the frames, worked on the cylinder block a...

Re: Radio-Controlled Locos
The failure of the speed controller is highly unlikely. Most use H-bridge output so at two transistors have to fail to short circuit. If one fails (let´s say one for forward) and you want to go backwards there will be a short circuit of the supply voltage, taking out the fuse. So the first failure i...

Re: Radio-Controlled Locos
This topic seems to have gone cold.... My armoured railcar (PZ201) is now ready to run under RC. I used 4QD components. Safety features as mentioned in my last post. I addition the 4QD controller has an ignition function. This can be coupled to a set of NO contacts on an additional relay and be used...

Re: drain cocks
I do. Reichsbahn class 55. As with any equipment on a steam loco, these automatic drain cocks need maintenance (a good clean every now and then). I unscrew the cap, remove the ball and clean the inside of the casing with a Q-tip. I have these automativ drain cocks on all my steam locos and never exp...

T26, correct shade of blue
Hi,
I am looking for the RAL code of th blue colour of Class T26 number 490 preserved at Bressingham.
The closest matchi I think is RAL 5022 "Nachtblau".
Does anyone have a better Idea?

Re: Radio-Controlled Locos
Going a bit further. The 4QD controllers have a failsafe system. If power is on but not commanded it will go to failsafe mode and switch off. So the only critical path left would be the rc receiver or RC to 4QD adapter commanding full speed due to a hardware failure. A simple stuck-at-high failure c...

I am just putting together a "testing project". The artillery car of the PZ201 armored train has been on my list for quite some time. Now I have started. I will show how I did the RC stuff. As the RC system itself has a failsafe mode that switches off all controllers after not receiving any valid si...
