HI PaulE YES i am soldering mad today but ive just found out that when my mate richard an i were doin the tests with the BECC system yes everything worked ok BUT we hadnt taken into acount that the bowthruster motor is only a 7.3 volt motor an we had a normal motor wired in that would take 9v to 15v so ive had a think an i will have to now fit in a voltage reducer to cut the power down to about 6v to be on the safe side fitted with an inline 3 amp inline fuse so i dont blow the bowthruster motor so another gadget has to be fitted in the power line boy oh boy really glad i noticed that or i would have blown up the bowthruster moter an another 28 quids worth this wirein is like a mine feild lol but im getting there
an will you be starting again on your railway ? as im missing that ?
