EDM Models - "Deluxe Rolling Road"
All components are precision made using CNC machinery and top quality materials. The aluminium tracks are the power rails and they hold captive the roller assemblies. The tracks are held to gauge by machined blocks of an engineering plastic.
I was so impressed by the HO unit I had, I wanted one for my 0n3 models and commissioned a batch to be made.
Since then I have added other Narrow Gauge configurations to the range and started to stock some of the other standard gauges. The standard unit consists of the aluminium rails and the rollers for the powered wheels.
Serving Suggestions Pony Trucks
Tender Power Collection
For engines where the tender is part
of the power collection I would suggest a home made display board as shown here.

This track is wired to the connectors at one end of the Rolling Road and those at the other end are connected to your controller

One These
precision made "Rolling Roads" is a must for diagnosing your troublesome engines.
I found one of these for 16.5mm Gauge and have been using it for a few years now and three previously troublesome loco's have
had their troubles solved.
The
roller assemblies are brass side cheeks, engineering plastic spaces and
miniature ball bearings as the rollers. "Rolling Roads" are normally supplied
with 4 sets of rollers, extras can be ordered. "Rolling Road" is fully
compatible with both traditional DC and with DCC systems as it uses your track
power.
Pony
trucks can be allowed to dangle or extra rollers can be purchased.

mode. The plywood base is cut oversize as shown and the
rolling road screwed to
it. To screw the rolling road
down I peeled off the soft pads on the underside of the plastic spacer blocks
and then screwed through the ply in to the
plastic block with a couple of self tapping screws. Provided you pre-
drill the
plastic the self tappers work fine.
