Tram loco - tinkering and test run movie clip

A bit of work done on the tram loco today.  I was getting intermittent stop/start while using the remote control.  Figured out the cause,  I had put the aerial inside a plastic tube guide - but not much of it was unobstructed...

The top of the aerial just poking above the tube...
 tube cut flush with the roof top
 a reasonable amount of the top of the aerial no showing
Had a test run session, can now be a good distance away from the loco before I lose control contact, far enough for a sit down and watch the train running session  - result 😁


A clip of the tram loco on its test run...
