RMweb Gold Donw 18,552 Posted March 4, 2011 RMweb Gold You mean you don't fit working brakes? Seriously though I found that the setting up of the pin points was more crucial than the weight for free running. Also in long trains a cast wagon at the end tended to pull the light plastic ones off. Don Link to comment

-missy- 3,835 Posted March 4, 2011 Great video Mikkel, thank you. That has also reminded me I need to add some weight to some of my wagons. Its surprising how important it is, not only to engines but also all rolling stock. Missy Link to comment
Jon020 1,495 Posted March 4, 2011 Mikkel, Thanks for providing a smile on a Friday lunchtime... wonderfully illustrated with a sense of suspence and mystery B) Link to comment

Gingerbread 211 Posted March 4, 2011 This gives me another excuse to delay the completion of my first wagon even further - need to conduct extended experiments to determine a suitable level of weight to add.... Pete - I think you may need to change your specs from 2mm or 7mm to the 4mm ones - it looked like Irish Whiskey to me (speaking as a non-expert) David Link to comment

scanman 728 Posted March 4, 2011 Nice one Mikkel - j However, there is also a clue in the glass (comparing the fluid surface to that of the wagon in front of it) shows your table has a definite 'list'. Could this be designated a 'spirit level' - and is the table also 'Brahms & Lizt'? Regs Ian PS - the wagon looks even better on the move! 1 Link to comment
halfwit 1,862 Posted March 4, 2011 I stand corrected...I thought 'scotch' was a general term for scottish/irish whisky... If he had a scotch (jammed in the wheels) perhaps the wagon woudn't roll along the table... 1 Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted March 5, 2011 RMweb Gold I thought of fixing the table but decided to leave it as it is, for future wagon testing purpose. This is how railway modellers move through the world, isn't it: Everything has a possible alternative use! 2 Link to comment
Penlan 4,127 Posted June 27, 2011 There you are waiting, it seems forever, and then 4 (yes Four) pass you by in 22 secs.,....... PS: That Irish Whiskey (Jameson's) seems to have a bit of sediment in it, none of the clarity of a good Scotch. Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted June 27, 2011 RMweb Gold I'm afraid it's just the same wagon, with a bit of video editing Nowt more than a bit of fun (well, for the maker at least). Sediment in the whiskey, eh? Well with the cost of modelling materials I have to save money somewhere Link to comment
