Servo Tester & Planet T5 Failsafe
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2020 10:43 pm
Was having problems with the reverser servo on my Roundhouse Atlantic, so bought one of those cheap servo testers for diagnosis.
A no thrills handheld video showing how it works.

The potentiometer on the output shaft is faulty, so fitted a replacement servo.
The Planet T5 radio control system is still very popular in the UK Garden Railway community, but having heard of loco's running away using the Planet T5 system, I was curious to find out how their failsafe system worked. The result is rather interesting.
