Re: Help with G scale RC?

Just got the one loco, no track yet. Been a shelf queen so far but I hope to be able to get her running one day. The...

That looks fantastic, what a top-notch job! Ritchie must have been really pleased with his mini version of project 350.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
I'll be watching this build closely. There have been a few KH to Peterbilt conversions now but not so many KH to Kenworth conversions. Looking good so far! I didn't realise the front axle needs to go...

Re: Frustration with model manufacturers
The three axle reefer is definitely what we see over here in Europe, but those short trailers aren't even close! They must come from cloud cuckoo land or some such place! Trailers in the UK are...

Re: hand made custom wheels
Mmmm look at them wheels. It amazes me that not one single r/c parts manufacturer is able to produce what one man and his workshop is able to do, 100% accurate tractor truck wheels.

Re: My daycab...
That's a sharp looking daycab, both in miniature form and in 1/1. How do you manage to churn out all these trucks! 3 trucks and counting and I haven't even finished 1 yet! You're unstoppable John!
