Re: LGB and trucks
That is pretty cool. How many radios are used for that operation? Or is it a group of friends?

Each vehicle had it’s own radio , except of the red diesel-locomotive , which is run via train-track-DC-power and that excavator which was operated just via a wired remote . The Steam and yellow Diesel locomotive are R/C as well the hopper-cars with the working hatches . The gravel-tower is also controlled via R/C ( elevator bucket – motor and the discharge-slide-servo ) , the half-track is also R/C as well the rail-road-crossing with the working gates . This setup was only operated by my German buddy Klaus and myself ( including the filming ), and yes , we had a bunch of R/C transmitters in use , Lol . This setup actually started fairly “harmless” as a BOG-A-Ram , just as a weekend deal . Here some more photos : http://www.customrcmodels.com/Photos/bog_a_rama_3_april_2007.htm After all my other buddy’s left , Klaus and myself tinkered for a few days ( since during that weekend , non of these loading functions did exist ) and the result was a full driveway incorporating also portions of the backyard . http://www.customrcmodels.com/Photos/bog_a_rama_3__continued_may_.htm

Re: LGB and trucks
Very good video and combining LGB with working construction equipment topped it off.

Re: LGB and trucks
very cool video I love the half track I have always wanted to find or build a half track rc.. I also liked the smaller yard locomotives... Did you set the track up for the weekend only? or do you leave it out all the time.

Re: LGB and trucks
thanks guys ,
no , it was not just setup for that particular weekend , it’s a permanent layout ( now , Lol ) But only in the drive-way , the tracks within the yard are always just temporally. I also have permanent tracks inside my garage to park all my railroad stuff right underneath the shelf’s in which are my trucks parked . Here are some photos from the latest layout : http://www.customrcmodels.com/Events2008/bog_a_rama_may_2008.htm Of course my wife was at first hard to convince that this would be permanent, and by driving over the tracks a few times ( accident or on purpose , who knows , Lol ) , did NOT convince me to remove all of that , instead I just called the work-force , re-arranging a section of the layout : http://www.customrcmodels.com/Gardenrailroad/working_on_the_railroad.htm usually when we play I expand the layout to the left and right of the driveway with additional tracks in to the yard

Re: LGB and trucks
Looks real sweet , Ive seen some garden railways that have actually become a huge feature of the garden snaking all over the place with bridges over ponds and quarry works of course topped up regularly LOL.

I used to have a big garden-layout back in Germany . Used the tanker-cars filled with weed-killer to get rid of the grass in between the tracks ( plus to cut down the time mowing the lawn , Lol ) And for the winter time I had heaters underneath the electromagnetic switches to have them work even in freezing temperatures plus snow-blowers and all that good stuff to make it work in winter time . Was funny , all the kids from the neighborhood assembled in my backyard and waiting for me to get home from work to run the trains . This LGB stuff is also very useful for parties . train-tracks from the kitchen ( refrigerator ) to the living-room via a nice big bridge going on the table with all the liquid goodies in the tanker-cars , makes it for a fun way of drinking , Lol
