      There are two tracks at Ravensprings Park which share a 'tunnel' really a bridge which was too small, the raised 5" track had to give way to the 7 1/4" trains. The only way to move was outwards which meant going somewhere under the toilets but protected trees on the Dell side of the toilets dictated going directly under the middle of the toilets! It also gives us access the the Dell which was an area not used for track before. The 7 1/4" also benefited from a reduction in climb from about 1 in 60 to 1 in 180 which is much appreciated when rail conditions are poor. Both raised track and 7 1/4" ground level track happier without the interference of the original tunnel.

    This thing is interesting, and very useful for those who want to ride a live steam railroad, but have trouble sitting in or on a typical riding car. Details please; voltage, propulsion and control system, brake system, dimensions and stats (if you know them in U. S. feet, inches and pounds great, otherwise I will convert). There are similar-looking foreign-made prototype light rail vehicles in the U. S. that could be the basis for such models here. Thanks in advance.

      Paul it is running two x 36v 350w motors on one bogie with cheap Chinese controller, the motors are gear down approx 9 to 1 so final drive via chain is almost one to one. The other bogie is air braked, the original design of bogie was purely for a non powered carriage so insufficient room for motors and brakes. The air brakes are simple air on spring off. 4225mm long, 537mm wide and 1 800 talll. lots of photos are bits on its Facebook page facebook.com/tantivytram

      John inspired by Rolland Emett creations it is actually a battery electric with a pair of 350w 24v motors and a couple of 50ah mobility batteries. To help it along it has a solar panel (charging the 12v system) and Hammy the Hamster running in a wheel (not actually doing anything other than entertaining the kids. To Help set off it has torso boost which blows bubbles to get it moving. For night running and in cloudy weather there is also a sail not shown in this video! It is a lockdown project in that nearly everything is from stock so for example the body panels are all reclaimed Dibond signs. The roof is a sheet stretched over so odd bits of timber. Finally designed to run on Cloud Cuckoo Valley Railway it does ensure that it will always arrive on time as the pair of clocks on the roof run backwards!

    Hey narrowgauge, I'm in the process of researching various drives for ICE locomotives and one of the 3 I am particularly looking at is a Petrol-Electric using an alternator as a generator (modifying it for modular voltage outputs), but I'm wondering how you control the engine throttle with this system as I swear I can hear it rev up but you only using the pentimoter for the speed of the motors? Sorry if this doesn't make sense as I don't know how to properly explain it, Thank you for your help anyways, From, Matthew
