Thank you @Paula that is a very nice compliment!
Many years ago I worked for a company that made automation software for broadcasters (i.e. your local CBS/NBC/PBS stations). My first couple years I traveled all over the US, South America, and Europe installing our software product with various vendor hardware that went along with our software. So I would install the equipment in their facility, train the engineering staff ,and then operators. So I had to be able to talk with well educated engineers, upper station management and then lower skilled operators and schedulers. Even though I'm a pretty serious introvert, I'm pretty good at it (kind of weird if you ask me).
Anyways, it is interesting you brought up servos, I thought the same thing. I used to have tons of that stuff but gave it all away. But after playing with the steamroller a bit I discarded that idea - the engine gets way to hot and I doubt it could handle the added weight.
Excuse not excepted Rich ..... R/C gear weighs nothing these days and you could put it all in a water tender trailer away from the heat, with sleeved, flexible control rods actuating the mechanisms you wish to control.
Of course, if you really do prefer "Free Release" on the steam roller, or other mobiles, then that is a perfectly valid choice as well.
