I was working on RM238 on Sunday and was distracted by a ride on the Swedish railcar at Nene Valley Railway.
Here are some pictures of the instrument I am planning to fit to my buses.
The backlit display is small but easy to read
It displays speed all the time with bars for RPM & temperature
The secondary display can be easily toggled between temperature, RPM
and volts
The unit can also be fitted with a fuel tank sensor.
When it is warmer I'll fit the magnets and sensors on the flanges either side of the gearbox and the temperature sender on the engine.
I'm working on a solution to displaying the oil pressure.
My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471. 2213 & GS17
