Camoran Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 My solution of narrow gauge with PF but it is not successful. The outline is referenced by the Swiss Rhaetian Railway Ge 4/4 III. The receiver really gave me a big headache to hide into the locomotive. I used a pair of 1x6x5 panels and it made the locomotive width into a 5-stud size. Good news was I put the motor and receiver into the same locomotive due to the advantage of these panels. Unfortunately these panel are too tall. It made the scale of the locomotive so strange. I tested it with the old 12V track and it worked with the straight one. Hence, it was derailed on the curves since the distance between the wheel axles were too long. I am now building a prototype #2 by splitting the motor and receiver into 2 cars and hopefully it will reduce the derail and the height scale issu ~ Quote
AussieJimbo Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 Nice start, Camoran. Shame you got snagged by derailment issues with curves. I got caught out by s-curves (one curve going immediately into another in the opposite direction) and had to tweak the design, so watch out for this track configuration too. :classic: Quote
