Re: Seagrave Tanker

Thanks for the tip!! I was thinking of some thin rubber membrane with a hole/slit, but this sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely check it out.

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Re: New Year--New project

Gotcha. I've only worked with setups that require a separate switch, like a Pico, but now I see how the beacons work. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions that you haven't tried already. ...

Re: New Year--New project

How are you currently controlling/switching the beacon on/off? Can you post a sketch of the wiring?

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Thanks Frizzen!

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Thanks! The solenoid valves are for both air and fluids. The only thing I don't like is the ID on the valve is only about 3mm whereas the pump and all the intake plumbing is 5mm. So far, I haven't...

Re: Seagrave Tanker

I closed up the back of the cab using Plastruct 1:16 scale diamond plate, but it didn't look right, so I sanded it down and tried some O scale (1:48), which seems to look a lot closer to scale....

Re: Scania airport fire truck

The pivoting door was one I wanted to test, so I'm definitely glad to hear it was something you used. Seems simple to construct and adjust. Yesterday while working at my desk, I pulled apart a...

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Thanks! As others have said, it's amazing how many times you think you have something figured out, then you have to throw it away and do it again...and again.

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Added some 3/8" styrene angle to the cab so that I could attach it to the floor with screws.

Re: Seagrave Tanker

Thanks for the heads up on the seats! The height is good but the width is 6 to 13mm too small. The driver seat would probably be ok, but the other 5 SCBA seats would be a problem. Hopefully I can...
