Hi folks,
I've just joined the forum. Although I am primarily a RC Yacht and Model Railway person, I've recently picked up an early production Heng Long Tiger 1, in need of a bit of TLC. Although I build 1/35 plastic tank kits, this is my first RC tank.

Hello Scott and welcome
I too do model railways (G scale in the garden).
What scale do you do ?

Hi Tiggr, and thanks!
N gauge, UK transition era for me. I currently have a 17.5 by 9ft garage soon to be converted with the substitution of the up-and-over door for bricks and windows.
I've always fancied a G-scale garden layout, radio-controlled....but unfortunately there are a lot of things I fancy! So, some things have to give!

Greetings, Scott, from the Highlands! No man should have to sacrifice his play area, for a bricks and mortar conversion

(expanding family?). At least a tank runs on different tracks..and doesn't need so much space.
That said, this evil addiction can pack every available inch of space with stuff..if it's left untreated

Hi 43rd, the best treatment is to give in - order more - build more. It's fun!

I can just imagine a dyed- in- the- wool addict emerging from his workshop-cum-mancave after
years of 'giving in'!

Here he is, and he's only just noticed that the family has moved out, while the house is full of dust and cobwebs
