Very cool to see a "mini" tamper! As a signal guy , I work with full size track machines all the time, and its amazing to see a small gauge Tamper , and with a laser level to boot...very cool! Thanks for the tour! Cheers Gregg.
As a retired railroad worker, I suggest using the rail clamp each time a tie or sleeper is tamped. This will help keep the machine from derailing when the tamping heads lower. I was watching the wheels come off the rails and one wheel's flange was about halfway over the rail. From experience, rerailing equipment is not fun or easy.
Amazing machine. Would be amazing to have one of this in our 10 inch gauge railway, Tren de Palau. Here we still do it all manually and, as we dont have many members, it's a painfully slow process.
Think about using a 66 or 70mm circular bubble level to give both cross level and a level indication at the same time . They are cheap and worth a try on the machine and big enough to see.
Do you have an email address for Temo? I have not been able to find a contact. I am a volunteer at the Mill Creek Central railroad in the USA. We have about 5 miles of track and we do everything by hand. I am invetigating alternatives. Thanks

When I was a volunteer there many moons ago, we lined and levelled the track with jacks and packing shovels, guided by the Mk.1 human eyeball.

I use one on my Gauge 1 track and it gives great results.
This an amazing tool! Do you happen to have the contact information for this company?
This something our 12" RR would be interested in!
You must wonder what the Passengers are thinking, seeing that strange contraption next to them.
Can you tell me what railways are using the 15 inch version of this machine
👍
Price of machine

@Andy - let me pass this on to our team who deal with Temo.
Meanwhile in Detroit. . .
