On Tuesday Wesley Furman and I got together to install some radio control. We are both using Spectrum DX6, his is the later i model. I had done some preliminary work on my Ruby/Forney so we spent most of the day working on Wesley's Lilly Belle. We got everything working using my reciever and transmitter. Wesley will have to install his own RC in his loco. Today I finished the installation on the Forney. Here are some pictures of my installation. (Sorry, didn't get any of the Lilly Belle)
The servo installation, I used HiTec HS-81MG servos
Here you see the servos plus the back wall of the cab showing the charge plug and on/off switch. In the off postion the battery can be charged. The reciever is hanging off to the right.
Here is the tender with battery installed (with Velcro), the reciever, left center, will be mounted inside the back wall of the tender using Velcro.
The tender installed
The cab installed
Now I need a calm day to try it out. Tomorrow is supposed to be less windy.
