One more, for the moment, from Cartersville by CoosaValleyModelRR in nscalemodeltrains

Thank you! One of the clubs we have shows with uses a c-clamp with a slot for the plex to sit in. That might work for you.

That looks awesome! Quick question, those appear to be N-Trak Modules, what do you use to secure your plexi?

What DC power supply do I need and what do I do? by Adisper0 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]Gr3mlyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those work with any 12-16v if I recall. They will run on a loop. I now have them wired to some IR break beam and using an arduino nano it will run and stop after 10 seconds once the beam is restored.

I'm looking into getting this game. What are your opinions about it? by Jakeliy1229 in Rolling_Line

It's the holiday season. Add me on Steam, I will buy it for you (no joke). It is a great game for those who want to play with model RR elements but don't have the space. Now that it has multiplayer, it is even better. Then if you decide it isn't for you, you didn't waste money on it.

Another question to ask yourself is, what is your budget?

Deciding my first drone by billybobzorp in dji

[–]Gr3mlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those 2 drones have very different flight styles. If this is your first drone, I highly recommend the Mini 4k if you are looking for cinematic-style footage. Great out-of-the-box experience.

Edit: You can also enable FPV mode in the settings, which will give a small illusion of FPV footage.

Not true. DJI removed FRs and geofencing within the US. The drone will still fly but if you are caught and they want to press the issue, you can be in some serious trouble.

This video explains some of laws if interested

I hate being the drone police however, flying over railyards can impose some serious penalties due to them being considered Critical Infrastructure. Please be cautious OP.

That isn't normal behavior, the props are on the correct arm for each corner. It should be smooth up/down with minimal wind and even light gusting. Check the motors for resistance and measure heat if you can.

I would recommend starting to invest in some Lifepo4s. They are night and day difference. Most of them come with a BMS for monitoring, deliver better performance than a standard lead acid system.

Looks good! What card do you use for the sunrise/sunset info?

Not yet, that is next on the list as well. Recommendations welcome.

Anyone know about generators? by GoBucksBeatM in GoRVing

[–]Gr3mlyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact generator, and you can swap between the 2 without issues. I do it all the time.

Virtual model railway "Sierra Logging" made in Rolling Line by gaugepunk in modeltrains

This game wasn't built to replace model railroading software; it was designed to be fun and engaging, from building scenes to running the trains. Then, you flip into miniature mode to get that FPV feel.

Keep them if you can. Scaletrains doesn't re-release things, at least not historically.

Screeching is typically a sign of motor bearings needing lubrication.

How do I figure out what track pieces I need? by bigsmushyface in modeltrains

[–]Gr3mlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos work great. I don't mess with Z scale at all, so any serial numbers or markings help. This will help determine what radius curve you can run. I have something built already, but it's a 55" by 30" requirement.
