I ordered the loco like that directly from roundhouse, it's possible to specify that you'd like the parts polished instead of the default black.

@@aerodwarf Oh ok! But I looked at the order form, and for the brass dome where the code is BD, it doesn't specify whether it's fit for C-class, Annie, Billy, Katie or whatever loco. Do I have to write in description, which loco, what standard colour and what brass fittings I would like to see it being fitted? But yeah, pardon me! I am not familiar with the ordering as I have never bought anything directly from them yet.

Well, without coding knowledge it might get difficult ;) My sourcecode can be found on github: github.com/raerkeer/raildwarf The Raspberry Pi should be around 10-15$, further you need a standard RC ESC with 5V BEC to power the rpi. It has less features than locoremote, but the basic principle is similar.

I don't know the top speed, it's just "fast enough" ;) Yes I still own it, I'm now just handlaunching it (as seen on my other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXzNaaitjp5madE), but that's a bit tricky, so I plan changing to bungee. With ground start there's too much dirt going through the fans...

Good tuning about use of 70 mm fans, the lower weight makes her much easier to handle. I had to build a ramp with negative angle to follow wing dihedral and bungee, this way it's safer and cleaner. I actually have 90 mm schubeler fans at 8S weight 3400 grams.

Thanks, but there's only a short description in german here: flugmodellbau.ch/index.php?sec=artikel&kat=0801
