Hello All,

Getting back into steam after some decades; recently acquired a Mamod SL1K and now buying an Accucraft Caradoc with a view to detail and add some R/C...

I'm sure I'll be needing some help from here, especially with my two left hands!

Regards

Dave
 
Welcome aboard, Dave.
 
Welcome from Forest Gate. If you are on this side of town there is an informal group of us who have occasional steam ups.
 
Welcome David , there all mad you know
 
Welcome Dave....
 
Cheers guys;

I'll try and post some pics of my Caradoc over the weekend; she's six years old and barely fired; the original owner was a 94-year-old who seems to have taken great care with his stuff. I'm in the process of adding a second channel on the radio-control for the regulator - the original install was 40mhz so I've removed the receiver and replaced it with a 2.4 ghz OrangeRx R615X, stripped out of its case to reduce bulk, and wrapped in heatshrink for insulation...... The (alkaline) battery holder has been removed and substituted with a 4xAA size NIMH+ Vapextech rechargeable.
I've replaced the regulator and gas knobs with brass levers and have a micro servo for the regulator - I'm just waiting for some 1.5mm piano wire to arrive and I'll be ready to complete the r/c (for now).
