someones going to have pointed it out already, you've got clarabel facing the wrong way. love the work, really want to get something like this done too
A general thumb up for your Videos: You are one of the few RU-vidrs who understood that the music and sound effects should not be louder than the speech and explanations. I don't understand why the bad habit of much too loud music compared to much more important speech is so widespread... You show very nicely that it can be done differently (better).
I know it exists, but I couldn't find it anywhere sadly. Hopefully they'll re-release in the UK soon. Let me know if you know where I can get one. Have a great weekend.
Caps and diodes on the motor are for electronic noise suppression from the noisy brushes. We used to add these to brushed motors on electric powered R/C airplanes way back in the day.
I quite like the default sound, a real loco sound to Thomas just sounds really nice. I think you should experiment with using 3 link couplings to also solve the derailment issues as theyve got to coupling hooks for it and i dont imagine you'd couple Thomas to anything other than his coaches.
@@LittleWicketRailway to be fair you can run Clarabel whatever way you want as her model uses the same one as Annie, when in reality she's meant to have a guards compartment on the end where her face is
Thankyou for your video, To improve Thomas, Emily & Clarbel moving on LGB R1 radius track fit Emily couplers all, Thomas, Annie & Clarbel. I have an early Large scale / Garden Thomas, Annie & Clarbel set that had original tr
Haha, well spotted! A few people got in touch to tell me and she has now been turned around. I didn't even realise there was a way that they were always coupled up.
Hi Rob, love your vids although G Gauge is a bit large for my place :) But this one including tips for improved running has prompted me to ask - have you ever tried "upgrading" an old OO-Gauge motor by swapping its end magnets with neodymium versions? I think that might be a cool topic for a video - especially since there's absolutely nothing about it on RU-vid. I'm about to give it a go myself..
@@LittleWicketRailway Awesome! Now you'll see a smiling face from every viewpoint whether they're coming towards you or heading away which is rather endearing. Seeing as you've got that DCC chip in it now, why not go the extra step and light up those lamps, maybe even a seuthe smoke generator? ;) Keep up the good work!
