I got mine two years ago, together with pulmonary embolisms . Hospital twice a week for some time, but now stable on warfarin. The Hospital and various consultants have been great throughout (although one has to manage some of the coordination of information oneself, nowadays) The biggest problem is not being able to use any pain-killers, other than paracetamol at one end of the scale, or cocodamol at the other (which having had a disc go, has been a problem).

Just for the fun of it. 7mm, and radio controlled.

There were four of these, with one preserved at Bressingham (The Baddesley Colliery example). The only standard gauge industrial Garratts to serve in the UK.

Denton's Garratt at rest.

Not to mention the Sava/BMC in LHD, also easily converted to RHD (Shown here converted, and with a new drop-side body)

This is the same body, with the back end cut down and scribed with planking to anglicise it.

I cannot answer the core question, but I run a layout with at least half a dozen live rc vehicles and locos at any one time - all on the Deltang system, and I've never had any problem with interference myself.

I did a search for 1:43 series 2s, and the results included this one......

The underside..... Servo, steering linkages, gearmotor, bevel gears and charging socket..... 2020-07-21_12-43-15 by giles favell, on Flickr

I cancelled my membership (of quite a few years) due to the way one particular member was being treated by the powers that be.... I saw it as symptomatic of attitudes I did not want to be associated with, although I appreciate what the Guild are trying to do, and how much work such an enterprise takes. I should love to hear that it's found its way on to the straight and narrow, at which time I will happily rejoin - but we'll see.... i did email to explain why i wasnt renewing, and why i found things unacceptable.

Lovely variation of models - and using actuators for uncoupling- excellent!!! (I do like those logging tractors though!)

A 4mm Oxford Models Series II Landrover was bought by accident, and I wanted to see if I could design an axle this narrow (compared to the lorries). It was successful - and then of course the model had to be completed.... Improvements to the basic model included drilling out the headlights and filling with epoxy, and making and fitting a decent wing mirror.

About that micro RC club you mentioned......

I did - but I found myself going down a rabbit hole......... having found a way I can make axle kits for 7mm, I wanted to see if I could make them for 4mm, and then could I make even narrower axles for 4mm..... etc..... (All on the laser cutter, with bearings on stub axles). Then of course my favourite motors became unavailable, so finding a reasonable substitute...... These 100rpm gearmotors are about £3.50 A piece, and perform as shown - however, when you tweak the transmitter (A Jumper TSG8 or whatever..) The characteristics get even better, and more realistic.

I bought a 4mm Land rover by accident from EBay, thinking I was getting a 7mm one! Rather than waste it, i thought id have a play, and see if i could modify the axles i use for lorries to a much narrower track - and so i can......

Duncan, If ever you need front axles kits - let me know.... although you fabricate them extremely neatly!

I recently got some 3v 100rpm which I have yet to try..... I bought them with the idea that the low end response might be better.....

What voltage/speed gearmotor are you using?

That's a proper job! The doors are great! Lovely to see it rocking and rolling at it goes down the road..... I've started fitting my transmitters with extension sleeves to the sticks to get finer control, which helps.

I was asked yo produce a video for last week's Virtual Exhibition, so I converted another vehicle from scratch - a drop-side TK

Ours was a Luton body as well, but the Luton floor could hung up to allow the can to tilt - the problem was if it was fully loaded at the time!

I drove one daily for three years at the start of the eighties - I found it very good for what we wanted - at least I could sit up straight - which is more than I could ever do in a TK!
