N Gauge Discussion / Re: Hunslet Shunter RTR or Scr...Last post by ntpntpntp - May 13, 2024, 02:31:10 PMThese little battery shunting tractors are 3D prints drawn up by a friend, printed and decorated by me. They're not powered, they sit on old Farish loco front bogies (the ones with the undersize wheels) and even then the model had to be stretched a little to accommodate the bogie wheelbase.
Unpowered is arguably a better choice for these, they can couple to a loco (eg. overhead electric) and look like they're shunting around my loco depot away from the catenary Of course, no sooner had we produced these then Arnold have announced a working model which I have on pre-order! If you're going to create a working model make sure there is room to stuff it full of as much "liquid lead" shot as you can if you want it to pull anything #52

I have been using it for a couple of years now and it has alerted me to possibilities of seeing Aurora Borealis several times and delayed me going to bed. Thanks! I've installed the app, and I got a notification to say that I can see it if I go to Iceland! (No, not the supermarket, before anyone suggests it...) It will be interesting to see what it comes up with. Cheers, Chris #56

That is one thing I'd really like to see in what I've got left of me life, but it probably won't happen. There. I've just got us back to the unhappy thread. Whoops, I meant #57
