MM004 Chips for 201's problems
BosKonay replied to wiggy's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
Is there a known issue with the board? -
Looks good tho - a nice scenic break diagonally across the tracks on the left and it would really look well!
-
Yep, I mean that you will have access to all sides (as humans can't reach across 4 feet to get to derailed stock, etc )
-
woohoo
-
I like it! My only concern is the width - will the layout be free standing in the middle of the room? The bay looks long enough to happily take a 141, 2 cravens and a gen van, will be nice (or a 2 car dmu, etc) Inbound trains will have to enter the station on the wrong road, maybe look at putting the crossover at the top into the curve at the station?

They are ok on the straights Rich, it's just on points they've a problem I'm hoping to get time tomorrow to swap out the wheels for new metals ones and try that first
-
Any photos of the MKII's yet Herbie?
-
Just a note to mention that the forum software has been patched up to the latest version, if anyone spots anything odd or broken, do let me know
-
Had a very close look - I reckon the combination of the plastic wheels, the bogies and my finescale track are the issue Will look at swapping out the bogies I reckon
-
Cool Drop me a PM and I can sort you with a login to fire away directly
-
Any docs or details on the wiring? Could they be wired to the switches on a point motor?
-

Monstrously good!!!
-
Cheers Rich, Will spend a bit more time with them tomorrow - all plastic wheels allright, which I found odd! All my other MIR stuff has metal, perhaps it's an oddity of the bogie cements - they have an odd axle arrangement, will snap a photo in a bit.
-
Might be the best option allright... I've got a spares box of bachmann metal wheels somewhere, will give that a lash. At the moment I just can't see (other than the give maybe in the plastic wheel) what's de-railing them All credit for the shed to Glenderg - he takes commissions too
-
:) Stick up some photos of the work in progress They make a lovely model
-
Tends to be second to last panel, midway, or just below the rivet crease.

I'll get some closer / better snaps if you like?

Cheers Gareth, I've been running through each wagon one at a time, but I reckon it's the bogies and MIR plastic wheel sets to blame in general. Not sure there is an easy fix. Am wondering if I replace the bogies with nice modern bachmann versions with metal wheels, then glue the MIR bogie sides over them...
