Would anyone know if the motorised signal I got from dapol would work with a z21 signal decoder. I'm trying find out if it has momentary switching in the z 21 signal decoder so works with the dapol motorised signal. I haven't bought the decoder yet.
-
This one from dapol also would be good Only bummer with signal is its upper quadrant

What you mean by lettuce I'm bit new to it. Only reason I go for the motorised signal is it is more practical to install and works with DCC layout right away but I also see your point. I will be using mix of studio scale signals and dapol.

I've gotten a lower quadrant semaphore signal from dapol it's really good and looks the part there is definitely differnces to the one at Dundrum station but it's very minor differences in my opinion. It's a GWR one so it's lower quadrant which is ideal for my layout. Only difference is that the GWR one has ladder and a stand at the top the one at Dundrum doesn't have ladder from the picture I see. And few other things different but again it's very minor. I feel it captures what I want. It's motorised also and that is handy. Not too difficult to install

just curious what it would potientally take to get gsr 800 back running mainline. i know its not possible. its more just wanting to know in detail why it could or could not go on to mainline. i know that the axle load is near 21 plus tonnes per axle. and that its very tall also

So I added recently some train tech lights into the cravens. To get the body off is bit of fuss but with some patience and some cocktail sticks and a card to prize the body off. Hair be very gentle taking the body of the carriage off. The Murphy models mk 2 there is much easier to install lights just know that the body is bit transparent so use electrical tape or something else to help light not leak through it. VID20231218010150.mp4 It can be bit like that at first going into DCC lol. But once you get the basics it's really good.

so i recently i was having hard time setting up a cobalt ip digital but not to worry i sorted it. pretty much to do with the addresses. point motor works perfectly. just has a few quirks to sort but nothing thats too difficult. i have the article to help here if anyone has the same issues i had. i have z21. it is a issue that only pertains to the z21 and how it reads the addresses of the cobalt ip digital. the article explains it better. just thought to put it here since some other may get the same issues on there layout not know what to do. once you know what to do its pretty easy. There's a example of the point motor working now. https://www.dccconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TP-An-Alert-for-Roco-Z21-Accessory-Addressing-Problems.pdf VID20231128191837.mp4

loving the layout is it based on anywhere particular
-
This is the tracks at Dundrum it's more less seeing what it looks like. Next stage drill holes for wires. I don't want to put anything down permanently yet till I see how it curves into the part of the layout. I am using pictures of dundrum is what I'm basing this on. The platform won't be as big as it was in real life but I will still have all the detail it had on the platforms. i will have 4 point motors in that area. the small siding that was at dundrum im not exactly sure what it was used for i think maybe a extra engine to be put there on a busy day or maybe a cattle stop or something like that. if any information comes up about the siding there i will try find it if i can. https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000303664 thats what im using to help me with getting what you see here to look as it did in real life.

just need help what be the best one for me to use

That's some my cravens I have at the moment all I need is a van will be a regular on the layout once completed. I do have a snack cravens coach I will be getting park royals from irm too which will go nicely with this set. It was common for cravens and park royals to work together especially with rpsi in the 2000s on the Santa tours.
