yep, thats the one, but when the mem card got full I took it off and put the box away.
the mount thats missing was the one the other camera was mounted on...

everything else made it home, as far as I can tell...

[IMR-620]

so whats gone astray a mount a camera the the thing in the photo or all of the above??an will ya have a chance to check if its still at the hall before anybody else uses it

[RCRoadtrain]

the thing in the photo is a camera... a Kodak Zx1.
and a suction mount.


the mount's cheap, I can replace that for about $5. the camera wasnt.

I checked the hall completely before closing the door, and my daughter did the same. we both made certain there was nothing left behind.

its turned a great day into a bummer.

[RCRoadtrain]

FOUND IT!!!!

Both the camera and the mount were in the bruder box for the fencing and roadmarkers, while the fencing and roadmarkers were stuffed into a bruder container..
being so light I thought it was the roadmarkers... until I put the containers away and heard the rattle...

pays to tidy up a bit. might do that....

now I can process the piccies!!!!! YAY!!!!

Hey richard for the kind folks on http://www.rctruckandconstruction.com can you show us your 20+ trailer roadtrain and you reversing it ????

Cheers Tracy

[RCRoadtrain]

you know you dont reverse roadtrains, Tracy.

..I was thinking of bringing the trailers, and doing a roadtrain pull.....
...but they wont all fit in the car!!



while I'm here: Thanks Tracy and Adrian, for chipping in for the pizzas...it was appreciated by everyone.

[RCRoadtrain]

one trailer at a time.
you keep adding trailers to the front of the chain one at a time. two if you're really good.

[RCRoadtrain]

nice clips.. did you read the comments? nearly all said "better you than me"
yes, it can be done.
It needs someone who has experience/skill..
And no, in real life it RARELY happens. One comment on those clips was 'If I caught a driver of mine doing this, I'd fire him.' ..bit harsh, but there you go.


..and yes Tim, I have driven trucks. I've been licensed to drive roadtrains for over 20 years.
Tim, if you know nothing about me.....

[Cossett]

Just wondering richard if you have pic's of you posing with the roadtrains you have driven over the years like all proud truck drivers do ???

Cheers Tracy

[RCRoadtrain]

pics? hmm.. bit of a sore subject, that....

I lost my 35mm camera, and all my photos when I broke up with my ex-wife in Perth.
I had about 8 shoeboxes of photos. all gone. breaks my heart when I think of all the money I spent on photos, all the time setting up shots, only to lose the lot.

..as I said, bit of a sore point....


got some digital pics of a HR I was driving for a while (that one was more recent).. but none from my artic days, sorry. there was some good shots, too...

just thinking of those photos make me hate the ex that little bit more.....

Hi Ralph,

not under the 'syd 14 scale' banner,
the meets here are now co-ordinated by Adrian as 'Tamiya RC Semi Trucks NSW' on facebook.

We now meet monthly (roughly, work commitments sometimes vary the date) at St Clair.


Cheers,
Richard
