Remeber my tender

[TurboOne]

way to go Ian. Persistance for any reason wins again. We may be in two different parts of the world, but trains unites and frustrates us all. [swg]

By the way congrats on 800. [:D] [:D] [:D]

Finally 7 weeks after Christmas we got it going properly and it has made a major difference. It has solved all the problems i expected it to. The tender and the Stainz will pull 5 carriages up a 4 % grade easily and it will start on same grade . It will run on some questionable track in tunnels etc. The sound is pretty good but I would say the chuff sound is too loud for the whistle and bell. But it was easy to match the speed of the two items to each other and I couldn't be more pleased.

This is the sad thing about MTS, it is so hard to get anything right straightaway but when you do it is well worth it.

Yes but many others feel the same way i do, it isn't the MTS its the people and it is such a superior way of doing things you would do it all again, if you had too.

LGB locos are beyond reproach but not so the MTS.

I think women feel this way about having baies a bit uncomfortable, very painful, incedibly inconvenient but the results when it all works out is un matched.

As far as sending LGB angry emails don't bother they don't even acknowledge pleasant ones.

Phil, do you honestly think Ian would give up on LGB? He's a diehard for them a poster child if you will.

Or just talk to Tony Walsham in Melb., scrap the track power & convert to bullet-proof R/C RCS.
Funny...I never have this sort of hassle with my Bachmann locos....

Ian, your history with MTS will pass into the annals of railway folk lore. Do you want us all to start bombarding LGB with angry e-mails demanding satisfaction for our Aussie mate? Just say the word.....................!
Cheers,

I don't know if any of you blokes remember that i got a tender for Christmas from M/S Santa Clause, well here it is February and it still isn't going. Again this is all to do with LGB MTS, nothing is easy with this system and she thought it would work on MTS and it didn't and I'm damned if anyone who isn't well informed could tell the difference. I have studied the literature carefully and it took a lot of reading to workout that it needed a decoder to work on MTS.

I had a dealer fit said decoder and that took weeks and it immediately blew up ( the decoder) so where are, I'll tell you; no where thats where.
