Hambleden Valley Railway and Roundhouse Lady Anne fitted with an SSP Slomo, a Summerlands chuff pipe and 2.4Ghz radio by Lococontrol. Seen on the other half of Hambleden layout from that in the Jack video. At 34ft long it is too long the put the whole layout up indoors.

Very cool. Never understood why they wouldn’t just be like this from the factory.

Agreed! Or at least have the option when ordering. I don't understand why they don't do coal fired as well as gas too!

That was an excellent demonstration of slow speed running! I wish my Emma could do that. She either stalls or derails, no in between speed!

That is fantastic Steve! How have you fitted the Slo-mo - is it now an 0-4-0? Cheers Chris

+Summerlandsteam No, its still an 0-6-0 I fitted the Jack slomo under the cab as the Lady Anne version is not available yet. I moved the radio gear that was there and put it in the cab (receiver and regulator sevo) I drilled four holes in the chassis for the mounting screws. The holes were elongated horizontally with a needle file to provide some adjustment for chain tension. I didn't use the plates supplied as these are for the ready made slots in the Jack chassis, but used washers on the mounting screws. The chain had to be lengthened as it was further from the back axle than when fitted between the wheels of Jack. Terry kindly supplied me some extra chain and links for this. I think it may be possible to use the chain length normally supplied if the rear frame spacer is removed. You also need to shorten the screws that hold the gas tank bracket so that they don't foul the slomo side plate. It is not as easy as fitting the unit as supplied for the correct loco, but can be done if you have the tools and skills required.
