irishthump Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I see you got yourself a Lokprogrammer. Great investment if you plan on having a lot of sound equipped locos. 1 Quote

Great investment if you plan on having a lot of sound equipped locos. Yup, @murphaph convinced me to move towards DCC, and to invest in one of these. Lots of learning ahead, and it'll probably be summer before I have time to actually look at doing anything at all, but I'm sure it'll be better in the long run. EDIT: Actually, it'll probably be autumn, as my summer week off will be the first this year, and the family are probably flying down for that! Edited January 23, 2021 by DJ Dangerous 1 Quote

The Lokprogrammer is actually a lot simpler than you might think especially if you just want to load sounds to decoders. 2 Quote

murphaph Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 The Lokprogrammer has a basic throttle that can run a loco to test it. Mine is connected to a rolling road but you could hook it up to a small test oval. It has enough power to run a couple of locos. 1 Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Warming up two freshly unboxed 121's. One needs a new vacuum hose and a little surgery on the hand-rail! 4 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 Couldn't resist running some of @Arran's containers, that arrived in the post today. Still haven't gotten around to lubing up, hence the squeak. Maybe this weekend. 3 Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 Very special package arrived today! Thanks to @murphaph for giving me the heads-up. These things are like gold dust. 7 Quote

connollystn Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 I like your optimism. You should print off some of the pics of the IRM As that are on this thread an place them in the cabinet and replace them with the actual models when they arrive before Christmas 20........ 4 Quote
Noel Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Ah now, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the A's and Deltics in the not too distant future. 3 Quote
BosKonay Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Considering the production boxed As have been plucked off the assembly line for their photo shoots this week, they are very close Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted December 28, 2021 Author Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Well, the grey 071 re-sprays finally arrived today! The pandemic has slowed Chris Dyer down, and his painter, Tony, seems to be flat out. Well worth the wait, really impressed with these three! Edited December 28, 2021 by DJ Dangerous 5 2 Quote

connollystn Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 @DJ Dangerous - Great job done on those 071s. I like the livery and the lack of the unsightly/untidy grab irons on each end. 1 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 Not a running session, just mocking up a short end to end layout to fit in the little space underneath the TV. 2m long plus 75cm odd inside the IKEA unit to the left. Three lines plus a couple of sidings. One line DC with a shuttle controller, one line DC and one line DCC. Should give me space to leave some trucks and containers and stuff lying around. Vague possibility that it'll one day be extended, but that's for another year. 7 Quote
Bob229 Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 That's quite a collection, like the weathered ammonia tanker, the end to end layout is tidy 1 Quote
