I take your point abo...Thanks for the advice Flymo<br /><br />I take your point about track, but I've still got to prove my track building skills consistently on a layout. I'm just trying to hedge my bets a little on this wagon.<br /><br />Anyway I feel I am making progress all be it very slowly and it does run nicely on my short test track even though it is running light.<br /><br />Thanks again<br />YanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673444445860206594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-71166470946546339382010-02-18T06:26:10.715+00:002010-02-18T06:26:10.715+00:00PS - it's better if you try and weight it to 2...PS - it's better if you try and weight it to 25g per axle<br /><br />PPS - it looks very nice :-)Flymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-13303336118199642222010-02-18T06:24:23.434+00:002010-02-18T06:24:23.434+00:00Why would you need more that 0.5mm?
Seriously... ...Why would you need more that 0.5mm?<br /><br />Seriously... If you have the ability to build rolling stock like this, then your track is NOT going to have 1.0mm steps in it.<br /><br />A lot of people over-worry about suspension travel. If your track is reasonably level then you don't actually need that large amount of movement.<br /><br />Yes, you need a small amount of movement for normally aligned rail joints, crossing vees, etc, but it was one of the dead-ends of the 1980s that stated that P4 stock needs to be able to cross matchsticks and climb hilsides. It doesn't, and that's why drop-in conversions have suddenly become so popular now the penny has dropped.<br /><br />So don't worry - what you've done should be fine :-)Flymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.com
