  1. That is incredible. Also, without intention of sounding too sentimental, that is a lovely station with a tidy little signal box.
  2. Wired up some wee lights this eve. don't ever lean on a soldering iron while crawling about beneath the base board.
  3. cant make it folks sorry. Family stuff. Wonderful opportunity and thanks for the invite :-)
  4. So I had a little fun with LEDs tonight. These little yokes are right up there with the invention of the wheel. Almost unbreakable long lasting tiny bulbs that only need a smidgen of power. I wired some in parallel to fit under my little street. Then I had a stab at planting an led in a C class silver fox. Here it is below working off the chip as a "headlight" on my NCE powercab system. I might just have it as a cab light for now before I drill tiny holes in the body there. Very pleased it actually worked!!!
  5. Very nice Broithe that could be the next attempt!
  6. Really great stuff as always ! Enjoy the summer
  7. While checking out the corgi scammel In CIE Livery I came across this http://www.memorylanelimerick.com/p743747762/h46E53B#h46e53b I love the "A good tip, use CIE" LOGO on the tipper truck... It really is brilliant.

  9. very very useful list. thanks
  10. yes it seemed to drain the current on that occasion. previously it didnt but there must be a reason . . . more figuring out. it is maybe the speaker which has now been replaced in the newer version of the chip. At that money i didnt mind a little trial in DCC sound. They had three on for that price but i only got one.
  11. I cannot take credit for the one on the left. It is just bachmann The Ould house pub renamed . The other one I built myself to go with it. Many thanks. I do a lot of my railway stuff on the kitchen table, the layout is in the attic, so no good light. The kitchen table has been spared a hammering by that mat!
  12. Sound not great on vid http://youtu.be/hGHFZBX7-VQ I should also be able to turn the speaker up in the cv. Still learning.

  14. I ll stick one up later. There are a load of US steam sounds plus a set of sounds from an american EMD SD38 . By one of those nice co-incidences that loco has a similar engine to the converted A class . So it might nearly sound good. The horn is wrong though.
  15. Thanks Broithe I have just such a piece of glass here.
  16. Thanks warbonnet I'll try that
