80000 lbs is what in kilogrammes/tons etc im not sure if its what a motorbike carries or the q.e.2 :D

Somebody with more knowldege correct me if I'm wrong, but the batteries I used were 550 mAh and the LEDs were 20 mA. So they should of ran about 25 hours per charge but ran 5 days because as the voltage dropped the current draw decreased. So how do people claim a battery will run an LED for a...

They are "hot wheels" type. They are too small, the hubcaps are outside the tires, they are chrome, and they are single and wide. I have put some extra Athearn's wheels on in the past but they cost to much to buy seperate. Maybe I should try making a mold and casting some....hum...FRED just...

the first thing is a crew car woodie the one in the middle is a `tamping machine'-used for sleeper and ballast replacement-most are around 1200 hp v16(two v8 bolted together lol) quad turbo diesels they need the power as they actually `grip' the railhead with clamps,drop rams and lift the rail...

Oh yeah, you can ask my wife about reverse polarity caps. We used to make small power supplies at our business, and she didn't put them in backwards too often, but it was obvious to all when she did. i worked for the government buses and our fav trick with reversed caps was to put one...

id say the cpu is fried.when changing or fitting heatsinks,use heatsink compound or the `chewing gum' to get proper thermal conductivity.Also it must be seated properly,if it sits slightly up so that the two flat faces arent in perfect touch an amd will overheat and blow in seconds (intel...

drop in circuit-so dependant on the pickups for voltage from track -very touchy tolley circuit on the other hand sounds very easy to implement -couple of 555's(or 556) timer,4017 decade counter,few diodes,caps,resistors and a 3a 2955 transister for a dc controller easy peasy

jon and robin-batter up!! shamus-best wishes hope all goes well for u

each break that link has %20 for every carrage return(enter)-it works if you copy paste and take out every %20 in it

woodie fingers x'd i might be going up lions rd (kyogle into queensland) you ever seen the border loop up there? ill try and 1.get some photos and 2. find out its specs weird bit of trackwork Border Loop Located only 1 km from the Cougal Siding (it is marked on the Lions Tourist Road...

not exactly galloping geese-but locally the sra is using suziki 4x4,s-with really WIDE wheels(to actually reach the rails !!),toyota landcruisers and isusu 4 ton trucks for maintence work all fitted with drop down guide wheels front and rear hmm wonder if a small n motor could be crammed into...

the old post office-thats what it was before they moved in woodie i normally park just aroud the corner from there if im at the bank btw look at the telegraph poles around town-youll see little blue tags on a lot of them-thats the height of the water-a lot are 10 ft or more off the ground!!!!

well-i had(may still have???) some tt gear it was my dads-when he was a teenager and im in my mid 30's now id be betting it predated n by about-oh 2 or 3 decades minimum btw his was all triang(turned into hornby didnt it??) and was about halfway between ho and n in size

not doing things by halfs are ya woodie :-) btw one of my talents is im electronics and auto elec so if ya get stuck woodies going to be doing a lot of work on this one!!

a 4/6 nor more cabled system seems the go here no crunchie locos on fold up for vertical sysytem-not to mention those pesky houses/towers etc etc etc to me keeping it flat seems the easiest in terms of layout fixtures ie no gluing houses down so they dont do `the dive' on foldup etc...

another chuck it in idea the winch up flat table- 4x winch cables-all to one cable-then to hand winch(sheesh super cheap has them for less than ten bucks-a whole 5 us dollars!! so that one person could (according to ratings on the winch i use on the hiliux) raise a 2 tonne table...

rough but gives the idea (arrow on left with cutoff word is foam seal around base) fingers x.d first photo ive tried here

just a thought-why not have a `hood' that when the layout is lifted up-it goes up inside it-even put a weatherproof type seal around the lip so it remains dustproof when stored the hood would be a permantent type fixture on the ceiling so could be built using ply or any othersuitable timber...

whats the original voltage of the bulb and whats the track voltage?? need to know the current drawn by the bulb as well resister = (track voltage - original bulb voltage) / current drawn by bulb then get the closest one in value thats BIGGER than the calculated value

:-( why scrapping-space-moving costs what?? 99 % i could `fix' after all am in trucking game lol
