Soldering Iron Tip erosion
BosKonay replied to BosKonay's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
You'll find the tip will blacken from the flux in the solder itself - wipe it down when finished and melt more solder all over the tip before cooling. I followed that tip (to tin the tip really well - after - each use) and am getting much better life and heat transfer now! (also be careful with modern steel tips, not to clean them too abrasively, as if you break or crack the coating, the tip will erode very quickly!) -
Looks like great fun! Any more overall shots?

Here is mine in action

I can vouch for just how incredible these are!
-
Good idea. Wonder could you trade in stock

No bother at all - drop me a line and I can call you on Monday?

Couldn't recommend the digital cobalts enough - ridiculously simple to use - two wires in, one to the frog - done!
-
Can't go wrong for a quid! I've one of these for the kids - grand little yokes! I was able to stick pictures of all the thomas locos on it (it has ten loco address buttons on the front) so it was a doddle for them to use!

Been a bit busy lately, but got upstairs for an hour today and got the freight yard basically down and foam backing glued down, and did a bit of a tidy and glued in some cosmetic missing sleepers, etc. Over the weekend I hope to finish the bracing so i can push the boards back into place and tidy up the stock storage and get stuck into finishing the wiring (yay! )

Try these lads on the frogs http://www.tamvalleydepot.com/products/hexfrogjuicer.html They auto-handle the frog polarity by detecting if there is a short, and swapping it. Get great reviews.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW Are you sure you don't have some kind of sci-fi shrink ray?

Tell me about it! They are a curse to figure the frogs

Looks like great space! What's the general Dimensions?

Sound on the 201 - some questions...
BosKonay replied to aramand's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
It's when the controller 'remembers' the details and settings of the last bunch of locos you ran. -
Hornby's DCC 'implementation' isnt' 100% compliant to the standards, so really works best with hornby decoders. Your mileage may vary with other decoders.

BosKonay replied to aramand's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
I've a lenz system 100. I find it very easy to use, nice and easy, and also very powerful and flexible. I plan on plugging it into a PC for computer controlling the layout and route setting in time... As one of the first 'standard' systems, I find it works great with all decoders and gives lovely smooth running.
