Re: Adding photos and failing

 

Hi Paul,

Currently the group settings resize photos to 1024x1024 which I recall being recommended to keep space down - we could increase this to 2048x2048. There should be any daily limit.

We should be able to embed from flickr - this is a test using Share - BBCode:

This time they have been resized to around 20% of the original. Two go on but the other four failed. Any ideas? Is there a maximum upload limit per day or such like?Also tried from Flickr but can’t do that either.... HELP !?

Thanks John. I had not thought of adding them here but have now put in a little sketchy detail and some more images.?
Cheers. Paul?

Back in its rightful home again ... and some indication of how big a complete circuit would be to cope with 'mainline' visiting locos for demo purposes. Roughly speaking, a 2m dia layout.

Hi All
I've just joined the Group following the Burton show, which I guess proves the value of a good exhibition presence! I was certainly inspired by all 3 of the O14 layouts on display.
I think Mark's idea of a O14 "champion" demonstration board/ test track is a good one, especially if the curve radii are big enough to take the larger rolling stock (L&BR etc) as well as the smaller "skips with everything" equipment.
?I'd find this particularly valuable as until a future (sometime.....) house move takes place I'm
confined to building locos and rolling stock rather than a complete layout.
Allan
PS anyone else doing O14 in the Derbyshire Dales area?

Thank you John for allowing us to muscle in and run our stock on your layout. I'm not too sure I was particularly polite because as soon I saw the 14mm gauge rails I had an overwhelming urge to unpack my offerings and get them running! Due to family and work commitments and the fact I'm a self confessed rivet counter, I model at what can be considered a 'glacial' pace and I construct layouts at an even slower pace. To see my stock running on an exquisitely modelled scenic section of your layout was very satisfying. Maybe we should consider arranging such that one us 'O14 champions' brings a demonstration board / layout or part of, with the intent of allowing other O14 modellers to dust off their models and stretch their legs to future events.

Regards,

Mark.?

Re: Back to back gauge

 

James,
Are there any of these critters left? I recently borrowed John Clutterbuck's and it was just the job for a carriage I'm working on - and I've quite a few more to do.

Not sure why this got sent to my spam folder: how very dare they!
I guess I counted my Decauville among them, hence my thinking there were 6 visitors.
I thought after the event that perhaps a passing loop at the back would work better than a simple oval, should you be so inclined: somewhere straight for the re-railer and a programming section. Not that I'm pressuring you, but maybe we could talk offline about the controller requirements that would entail?

We had a great day today at Burton with our fellow o14 flag flyers. We were all together in the back room and it was good to meet friends old and new, and especially playing host to 5 visiting locos.

The quarry board worked remarkably well as a layout in its own right. It really needed two operators to keep everything running (we were not good at multitasking). If it ever goes out again then it could do with a hidden back track - not that I'm promising it will.

Thanks Paul, I'm ok with mainline stock especially with David's decauville. I have a small RCL Lister for the quarry which currently runs noisily on DC - this may be down to my Gaugemaster controller. I doubt if I'll get the time to fit the CT chip I have. The board has 3 sections which can be switched between DC and DCC.

Sounds like a tall order John! ?Sorry to hear a funeral is involved in your planning - and good luck with arranging care, we know what a nightmare that can be. Can I be of any help with 14mm gauge stock?

Assuming I can find the FACS headboard, the visiting enthusiasts will be there behind their?Decauville! They may be blinking: they've been in a box since ExpoNG.

It's going to be a challenge to be ready but I'm going to try.?David helped get the board out of the loft earlier this week and now I've got to: wire up the controllers and panel as an independent unit, add a backscene and lights, install the crane (it normally lives on an adjacent board), tidy all the scenery, and get it all running reliably - which it is not. K1 is still one chip down so will be a no-show.

This is in-between a?very busy full-time job, running NG&I, arranging care for mother-in-law, funeral for her partner, a long weekend away to visit our first grandchild, and get a load of plants into the garden.

Re: Hollywood Foundry Chassis

 

Hi Michael,

In my experience RP25 wheels work fine for O14. I also think they are pretty close to prototype when compared to the ScaleSeven standard guage profile:?wiki/Resources%3A-RP25-%26-ScaleSeven-Wheel-Comparison?- although of course narrow gauge profiles were anything but standard.

John
Re: Hollywood Foundry Chassis

 

Hi Micheal

I have many locos running on BullAnt chassis and cannot recommend them highly enough.? I usually opt for belt drive and the result is quiet, smooth running and powerful.? The back-to-back I use is Roy's 12.4 to 12.5mm.

Geoff has recently had an operation so check with the Hollywood site to see if he has started accepting orders again.

You can see my locos with BullAnt chassis on the Rhyd website, , or the link from Rhyd’s page in the Hall of Fame section of the Wiki.


Cheers

Hollywood Foundry Chassis

 

Has anyone used a chassis from Hollywood Foundry for 14mm gauge? If so what back to back and flange thickness did you choose?

Roy's standards really require a flange thickness of 0.6mm. The RP 25 offerings seem to be greater than this.
