Lumberjack gets RC'd

[Alpineandy]

I finally got round to radio controlling my lumberjack..............powerful little loco but because of tall gearing quite often would run away....................now its much more fun with RC..............

My kind of train. That's a powerful little loco.

Nice loco, nice railway, nice video (I like the way you've edited the music to fit)
Nice one!

PS - My teacher told me never to use 'nice' but sometimes it's just the right word to use!

My Lumberjack has never run away with itself but then it has never ambled along sedately like yours either. How far does the RC open the regulator when running at that kind of pace and load ? Lovely film too by the way

To be fair when the pressure is just lifting the safety valve the regulator is just open...............there is plenty more power available...............she could take a bigger load but I think she would probably just slip :thinking:

Very nice video. Can't wait to get my Regner back!

Thanks Andy, I have been trying between a half and one and a half rotations of the regulator I will try a run with it just cracked open the next time I run her.

Looks great. I love my Lumberjack. I just need to do something to the gas tank to keep the gas warm when running in the winter. It does not like the cold.
