AND....... ;)
(bet you wish you had not 'stuck your head above the parapet'!?)
Pick-up from the track, for us DCC types.. Would just need a bridge, 'buck' regulator, and an off/on switch..

Pretty please? :clap::clap::clap:
Nice idea but..... Hm not quite sure that Track Pickup would be such a good idea as pickup via a wagon can be quite flakey giving inacurate readings I would think.

Speedwagon with Accucraft wagons. I will have to get another Speedwagon and paint it into L & B livery to match.image.jpeg image.jpeg Speedwagon and Maisia at work.

Looks great Casey - a good looking wagon and a speed recorder built in to one. Nice.

Frank, the wagon is a perfect match with the Accucraft L & B rolling stock. I haven't tried it with any LGB stock.

Looks really good, Casey......
I never did get a response to my question back in post 18, about whether it would be possible to get the Speedwagon electronics built into an LGB wagon, for those of us with a more European G inclination?

Well ask on the manufacturers website then!

If you do, ask if they would do versions calibrated to differing scales..
Euro 'G' - 45mm representing metre-gauge
British G1

I asked the question here simply because the chap who makes these (the electronics part of them, anyway) had posted on this thread - but maybe he's not been back since that one visit... ;)

It would look good in an LGB wagon maybe on of the flat wagons with a wooden crate to house the clever bits?
