  1. Hold on there Tonto

    i dont drink petrol

    after travelling from way out west you think that so called Hotel would have had enough in stock

    knowing there was a show on

    anyway it wont happen this time around

    and dont forget my kit ;)

  2. That was the problem in that dump

    no cups in the hotel bar { paper ones } i think it was a set up

    as the tight git from the northside had offered to buy me a coffee :D

    tried the restaurant no luck

    went to the bar only to be told sorry we have run out of cups

    T B H not great for a Hotel

    but hey if it was on the Northside , probably would have got a china cup and some choclate cake for 2 euro ;)

  4. We are looking at a Tea & Biscuit or Cake affair Noel

    Getting people to staff it is the problem

    Hot food would be out of the question

    Raheny village, 5 mins away, has plenty of cafe's & Pub Grub[/quote

     

    Coffee cake ?

  5. That's a great tip. A ten-fold reduction in cost is definitely worth doing and makes equipping a couple of rakes affordable for the average modeler. DO you thin it is possible to route the wiring between the window, drill a tiny hole in the floor and hide the battery behind the 'battery boxes' under the chassis. Battery replacement would be infinitely easier

     

    Hi

    that was my original plan :tumbsup:

    but sadly the holder is visible if mounted underneath

    it fits just perfect in the back compartment in the cravens

    next attempt will be a MK11 and see how that works out

  6. Sorry not set up for video here , but result is the same as Train tech { WARM WHITE }

    that one was the first one done . and i see by the pics i need to file down a bit of the window opening to make it flush

    but for a few euro , im ok with it so far

    when run in a rake with the Train tech fitted coach, there is no change in colour .

    here is the link to the train tech lighting

    http://train-tech.com/index.php/lighting/interior-coach-lighting

     

    with both the train tech , and this set up , the battery is enclosed in the carrige

    so the drawback is , when the battery is low , the carrige must be taken apart to replace it

    but they give a long life 5-7 hours

  7. Having bought a Train Tech lighting board for a Cravens

    at a cost of £17.00 plus £3.00 postage

    i wondered if there was a cheaper way to go about lighting the cravens

    First off the Train Tech lighting is excellent { motion sensored } after 2 to 3 mins it switches itself off

    again when it is bumped or coupled the lighting comes back on

    so all in all a good product { be it a bit costly } 5 coaches = £85 plus postage

    i searched around on e bay and found the following

    5 x lightboards for 11 euro shipped { 3 volt operated } same as Train tech

    then i came across the 3 volt holders for the batteries { the holders are fitted with an on/off switch } which is ideal

    so i opened up a cravens and fitted the light bar to the roof

    then soldered the wiring to the switch { holder }

    fitted the holder in the back of the cravens { then making the window hole slightly bigger in the back of the carrige

    i was able to fit the switch with a few dabs of super glue { as seen in the pics }

    simple to operate , i use a pen to turn on and off the switch .

    paint the white switch a dab of black , or put the red cover on and nothing is visible .

    works a treat , and cheap too :tumbsup:003.jpg
