RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2017 Daughter and I loved every minute of watching the layout in action yesterday at the Farnham show. Does the Garratt have a separate sound chip for each engine as a matter of interest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengiant Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm delighted to say that the RC Bagnall did a full 7 hours non stop duty at today's exhibition (Farnham show at Aldershot). This without any recharging.... I've just got it back to the hotel and put it on charge, and it's only taken 15 minutes of charge, which suggests it's used very little of its capacity! (I charge at 1S, so a full charge would take an hour....). All in all, it's remarkably successful at it's job. We were also kindly awarded the most voted for layout, which is delightful, and made us feel warm inside - or was the the nice beer they gave us...... Martin and Ken did a stirling job through the day with no breaks - bless them. Pleasure as always Giles, see you at the next one. Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted October 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nice work Giles, glad to hear of the Bagnall's sterling turn! I must look into some of those cylindrical batteries as the capacity is so much greater! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherplanet Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Glad it all went well. Interesting that the battery lasted so well. Hope that today went as well. Looking forward seeing you all at Uckfield next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Likewise, we're looking forward to Uckfield, although I haven't a clue as to how Friday night is goingv6o happen! Yes, a 650mAh battery with one gear motor seems just the job for a single day. Somewhere there should be a photo of the A team with a nice big trophy......

otherplanet Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Good to meet you face to face Giles. The layout was superb and lives up to the expectations set by the photos. Everything runs so nicely. The rest of the show was very good as well. Left me feeling inspired to get back and make some better progress on my own models.

Giles Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 You're all exceedingly kind - and those are excellent photos! We had a really good (though exhausting) time at Uckfield. We were delighted to win the vote, though if it had been for 'Best Modelling' I'm sure Gordon and Maggie should have won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 From the little RC Bagnall to my 10 1/4" Bagnall. Someone has done a nice video of her in service this year. I don't know who the driver is though.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be honoured and delighted to come in tenth!I didnt know that BRM were still doing such comps, those seemed to stop just prior to John Emerson and Richard Wilson leaving? IMHHO you should have been a lot further up the rankings than 10th, but well done anyway. Anyone know who came first-most the model making in BRM seems to be done in house these days, so was the comp based on layouts?
