Hi Pete,
Ref. Throttle spindle rotation requirements.
I agree, which was one of my points of discussion yesterday, with or
without R/C.
i.e. 360 degr. rotation is not an absolute neccessity for operating
these steamers, even with "heavy" loads.
Due to the mating fit and angle of the m

Hi Tony,
Very interesting site, of which I was not previously aware. So I had
already gone a slightly different route, and made up my own drive system
from regular R/C car parts. But good for future needs.
Thanks,
Tony D.

Hi All.
This modification simply converts the servo into a geared motor marginally
stopable - and reversable by R/C, it is not suitable for control of loco
throttles. It is a good cheap way of drivingan electric water pump though
as Karl suggested.

I am purchasing a new kit Aster Alisan Shay. Well, it is a 1/4 century old,
but never built. In any case, has anyone installed R/C into this relatively
small loco? The idea of a chain drive to turn valves sounds very useful.
Does one replace the standard valve knobs with gears?

I added r/c to my Accucraft C-16 last year. (SitG published the article in 3 parts,
but the photos weren't very visible. I have a .ZIP with most of them - email me
offline if you'd like a copy.)
One thing I learned was that, although the throttle spindle could be opened 360+
degrees, I only nee
Jim and all,
This page describes the a conversion to 360 degree rotation.

Or search Google using "360 servo modification" and you should find a page
for nearly any brand of servo.
I haven't done this, so use this info at your own risk.

At Diamondhead I've seen tender mounted water pumps with a servo operating
360 deg. to drive the pump. Now I know how they did it. I'll have to look
at one of mine. When I operate m
