Exclusive Bus Model - Only from Brian Collins Enterprises

Gotcha You could try CTRL-F (Find) in your browser to find the term? From what I can see, there isn't a way to make the search bring you to a post - the search continues
-
Hmm, it should highlight the search term in the thread when it displays?

Looking fantastic!

It takes me about 30 minutes to upload 1 minute of youtube video! Tis a curse

Here is a modified point You can see the two joiners have been cut, and a link soldered in, to connect the stock and closure rails. This method ensures that the closure rails are always powered by the connected stock rail and the frog polarity is then set correctly by the switch. This ensures that the power doesn't have to worry about the point blades being clean, etc, and the point should give many many years of trouble free service (you can even fully paint and weather the point blades' sides)
-
In the photo, you can see the longish wire coming to the bottom on the left - thats the frog feed. The two small joiners on the right connect the frog to the rails, when you are letting the point blades power the frog. If you are switching the frog - these need to be cut to isolate the frog, otherwise you create a short
-
-
Disconnect the frog and you should be ok. Otherwise cut the connectors under the point that bridge the frog to the rails.
-
Did you cut the connections under the point to isolate the frog? Is your controller shorting?
-
If you are feeding power into the point then make sure the frog isn't wired up? Can you describe in details what's connected to what and how?
-
Can you give more detail? You should be feeding power to the 'single' end of the point only. Unless you've adjusted to point itself powering the frog separately will cause a short.

Cheers Anthony - will give that a lash too! The more the merrier! Ironically, I've an A4 that's a better puller than the 201 (but then she has 150g of Lead stuffed into her (and sound, and smoke, and a heap of leds )
-
Having watched the video, the loco is stalling as soon as it hits the points - how are you feeding power into the point itself?
-
Basically swap the wires that feed the switch / motor around
-
Simplest is upload to youtube, then embed the video

@heirflick - yep, they are a curse @kevrail - you know, I don't know! I have a little box of 8 of them, they are a whitemetal kit, but I've no details at all about them! I've a pair of DCC Concepts ones that are very similar looking with lights that I plan to use too
